I took the Vette along this year for both days - free tickets for me and passenger, own route in, no queues. Clive is trying to get some Vipers there for next year so if you're interested then his contact details are at the bottom.....
Vehicle Display
ROYAL INTERNATIONAL AIR TATTOO
RAF Fairford, Gloucestershire
14th & 15th July 2007
The world’s largest military airshow will be looking to serve up a large slice of American Pie to its visitors next summer and are looking to vehicle owners for help.
The Royal International Air Tattoo, at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, is held in support of the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust and attracts around 165,000 people each year.
To mark the 60th anniversary of the US Air Force, airshow organisers are planning a star-spangled event on July 14-15 2007 featuring the sights and sounds of US popular culture with musical, sporting and interactive entertainment.
To build on the hugely popular vehicle display that featured at this summer’s Air Tattoo, an open invitation has been issued to the owners of American vehicles to exhibit at next year’s event.
Particularly sought after are examples of American vehicles from the 1940s through to the present day to take part in a themed parade in the main arena in the central showground area and in a comprehensive static display.
Clive Elsdon, who is one of the team co-ordinating the display said: “The Air Tattoo offers people the opportunity to display their vehicles in a unique environment, nestled among many of the world’s greatest aircraft.
US vehicle owners will have the added bonus that RAF Fairford is a US base and so, essentially, they will have the chance to display on ‘home’ turf’. This year’s display attracted more than 100 vehicles per day and the feedback we have had has been excellent. Many have told us what a wonderful experience it was and have asked to come back.”
Fortunately for them, the Vehicle Display Team are also looking for examples of vintage, classic, commercial, competition, military and other interesting vehicles to compliment the 2007 static display.
Spaces for the Vehicle Display and Parade are limited. For further information, contact Clive or Wendy Elsdon on 01453 845645 or by e-mailing clive@cliveelsdon.co.uk
