The world\u2019s favourite aerobatic display team will be performing their final salute at the Air Tattoo this summer, before they jet off on a high-profile tour of the USA and Canada.<\/p>\n
The RAF Red Arrows will perform their last public displays in the UK on 19-21 July at RAF Fairford in the Cotswolds, before they fly to North America for the Western Hawk 19 Tour.<\/p>\n
The team will travel across the two nations with a view to promoting trade and co-operation in support of the UK\u2019s prosperity agenda.<\/p>\n
Defence Minister Mark Lancaster announced their participation earlier this week: “The Red Arrows are an international symbol of Britain and this landmark event will generate a significant amount of investment. It is only right that, after more than a decade away, they return to the home of our closest defence ally.”<\/p>\n
The Red Arrows are no stranger to the skies above RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire and have been a firm crowd-favourite at the airshow for the past three years.
\nAir Tattoo spokesman Richard Arquati said: \u201cAs always, we are delighted to welcome the Red Arrows back to the show.<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir breath-taking flying displays never fail to disappoint however this year will be extra-special in light of their upcoming tour \u2013 we wish them a successful trip\u201d.<\/p>\n
In addition to featuring exciting aircraft from around the globe, this summer\u2019s Air Tattoo will feature a wide range of entertaining and interactive activities in its critically-acclaimed Techno Zone\u00ae, Activity Zone, Vintage Village and RAF Experience.<\/p>\n
Tickets for the airshow, which is staged annually in support of the RAF Charitable Trust, can be purchased online at www.airtattoo.com<\/a> or by calling 01285 713456.
