The Fairford Air Tattoo is the largest military air show in the world. In years past, we’ve watched many of the planes fly over our house so decided we should take the plunge and attend but Covid delayed us for 2 years. It was a hot and sunny day. The crowds were huge (understatement). They arrived with tents, umbrellas, coolers, kids, dogs and planted themselves in the fields. We had tickets in the stands thankfully. It was loud and long and to be honest quite repetitive. There are only so many manoeuvres a helicopter can do. The most interesting displays were the aerobatic ones - Red Arrrows, Koreans, Italians, Jordanians. The air show was constantly running but when you needed a break you could go view the standing displays which included planes from all over the world. Many people know where to view the show from the local area without entering the airbase. We just need to find out where those areas are for the future. It was difficult to choose a photo this month as we visited beautiful Tresco in the Isles of Scilly as well. The Koreans won out as you can see in the photo. We hope you are all well.
