Royal Air Force Charitable Trust

The power to inspire

The Royal International Air Tattoo is more than a world-class celebration of aviation, it is also a charitable activity.  When you buy tickets or merchandise, you are directly supporting the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust (RAFCT), charity number 1176054.

We promote the Royal Air Force and inspire young people to fulfil their potential in air, space and technology.

Our vision is a world where every young mind, regardless of background, disability race or gender, can experience and thrive in a STEM, aviation or space career.
