Beyond my budget I`m afraid  :(  I have always wanted to go to RIAT but it works out rather costly with flights and accom etc-ticket prices have got rather steep as well.
 
I would hate to pay out all that money and get stuck 14 rows back behind some prat with a huge hat and an umbrella >:(

The answer to that is get there early and bag a front row spot....

Will maybe give it ago next year-I am hoping to go to East Fortune this summer and have a trip to Rome in a couple of weeks so no money or time off left.

I am certainly looking into going to RIAT this year. Farnborough Airshow is also on the week immediately following RIAT so I'm hoping to combine the two airshows. Although the weather at least year's RIAT wasn't the best... infact did it even take place?

Looks like that will be the best weekend to attack the UK - most of the RAF will be at RIAT :)
