Rainfall stops Fairford air show
« on: July 12, 2008, 09:04:29 AM »
Organisers of the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford have cancelled Saturday's display after heavy rain saturated the ground.

It is the first time the tattoo has had to cancel one of its days in its 38-year history.

More than 300 planes were due to take part and 100,000 visitors were expected to attend.

Day two of the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford has been cancelled, organisers have said.

For the first time in 38 years both days of the event have been called off after heavy rain left the airfield and car parks waterlogged.

Hundreds of planes and up to 150,000 people were expected to attend the event in Gloucestershire.
