Air show held in the Cotswolds cancelled due to conflict in Middle East

The event, scheduled to take place from July 17 to 19 at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, has been cancelled due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
Organisers made the announcement following discussions with the Royal Air Force and the United States Air Force about uncertainty over access to RAF Fairford.
Gavin Gager, chief executive officer of Royal Air Force Charitable Trust Enterprises, said: “We know how much RIAT means to everyone and recognise how disappointing this news will be.
“It is a disappointment we feel just as strongly.
“We would like to thank everyone for their support, loyalty, and understanding.
“Looking ahead, we remain fully committed to returning in 2027, and to making sure RIAT comes back stronger than ever.
“We very much look forward to welcoming you all again.”
Anyone who has already purchased tickets for this year’s event can choose to roll them over to RIAT27, request a full refund, or donate the cost of their tickets to the RAF Charitable Trust.
Organisers said this has not been an easy decision.
