    RIAT Fairford 2008 Zaterdagshow afgelast!

    AIR TATTOO CANCELLED SATURDAY
    Due to the unusually heavy rainfall during the past 72 hours, a decision has been made by the organisers of the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire to cancel the airshow on Saturday, July 12.

    The cancellation of the airshow on Saturday follows a sustained period of heavy rainfall that has resulted in waterlogged conditions not only in the public car parks but also on the airfield itself. The decision was taken following consultation with the police and other safety services.

    Air Tattoo Director Tim Prince said it was the first time the Air Tattoo had ever had to cancel one of its days in its 38-year history.

    “It is with great regret that we had to take the decision to cancel the airshow on the Saturday but the safety of the public is paramount.

    “When it became clear that we could not guarantee the safety of the many thousands of people who had bought tickets for Saturday, the decision to cancel was straightforward.

    “We are aware of the inconvenience our decision will have on the many thousands of people who have bought tickets for the Saturday but the potential risk of there being significant difficulties on the roads, in our car parks on the airbase itself were too high.”

    It is anticipated that the show will be held on Sunday but it will be only for holders of tickets valid for Sunday. A decision in respect of this will be announced by 4pm on Saturday.

    Please note that Saturday tickets will not be valid for Sunday.

    Refund details for tickets bought for Saturday, July 12, can be found on the Royal International Air Tattoo website at www.airtattoo.com . For further enquiries contact refunds@rafcte.com
    We waren dus al aangekomen in Calais en aan het wachten op de boot en dan kreeg ik de melding van een vriend die toevallig op de sita nog eens aan't kijken was.

    Ondertussen hadden onze reisleiders ook het bericht gehoord.

    We zijn dan maar teruggekeerd. Spijtige zaak, zeker als je weet wat er ging komen. F-22, Vulcan + speciale formaties...

    Idd wel zwaar balen dat, dit is ook niet zomaar een airshow imho.
    Hopelijk maken ze het volgend jaar dubbel en dik goed?!

    De tractorpulling hier in mijn achtertuin is ook afgelast wegens het slechte weer.
    allé, niet dat het er veel toe doet. Maar kwil maar zeggen dat er nog festijnen zijn afgelast door het ***weer van de voorbije week.
