I hope not! It's the only airshow I get the chance of going too.

Re: Rumours of Tom Cruise appearing at RIAT
Rather a post that reflects reality; like it or not the way things are progressing around the globe, cancellation seems a strong probability.

Re: Rumours of Tom Cruise appearing at RIAT
Think you are being abit cruel saying that a possible appearance by Tom Cruise at this years RIAT is "doom & gloom" !!
All those hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world congregating on a few square miles of gloucestshire for a week.
Tightly packed in like sardines in a tin!!
Wake up and smell the coffee my friend!!

No-one knows the effect of Coronavirus is, one of the few things we DO know is that it does not like heat, and beyond that, a LOT can happen in 4 months. Lets just wait and see shall we?

It doesn’t like heat? Wuhan is hardly Antarctica...
If we follow a similar process that a number of other countries are in cancelling / temporarily banning events or gatherings of more than 1,000 people then it is inevitable RIAT will be cancelled.
Don’t get me wrong I’m still getting tickets and planning to go myself, just being prepared in case it is cancelled also.

Re: Rumours of Tom Cruise appearing at RIAT
I have been to quite a few RIAT and IAT in the days of Greenham and being held on such huge bases I have never felt like packed in sardines. Yes lots of people but never packed in. Surely before they start canceling outside events the goverment should look at how some people travel on public transport packed in like sardines. I think I would rather take my chance on going to a large outside event than travelling by public transport at the moment.

Re: Rumours of Tom Cruise appearing at RIAT
Quite possible it may be cancelled, I just like to be a bit more positive on this, if they do cancel RIAT then other events must fall the same way, all arena sporting events including Tennis, Football, Cricket Horse racing and Athletics, all County and Agricultural shows and other outdoor events, music festivals, concerts and gigs, then there is Theatre in West End and provincially, Cinema, Mecca Bingo, the list is endless. On top of that public transport which is far more enclosed than an outdoor event. Are these all to be cancelled, restricted or banned.Campbell89 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 9:44 amHonestly wouldn’t surprise me if most of this years airshows get cancelled.woody142 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 9:19 amThink you are being abit cruel saying that a possible appearance by Tom Cruise at this years RIAT is "doom & gloom" !!

We will all be confined to our homes in one continuous curfew if we are to listen to some people. that defiantly is doom and gloom !
Re: Rumours of Tom Cruise appearing at RIAT
I have already bought my ticket, bought it last year in fact, hope it isn't cancelled, but with the governments plan to delay the spread as much as possible and extend it into the summer months where the pressure on the NHS will be less, things are not looking good.
As Regards "packed in like sardines", you don't get there before the gates open then? The Red entrance is exactly that every year!!
Anyway here's hoping it all disappears very quickly and we can all get back to normality.

Re: Rumours of Tom Cruise appearing at RIAT
Sadly I think there's now an inevitability in terms of cancellation. Things are getting worse and whilst 90% of air tattoo is in the open there are the inevitable choke points. I assume refunds are out of the question so a number will be well out of pocket.
