It's great that RIAT is back. My hotel is nearly £300 for 2 nights and the price of petrol the way it is & now being out of work I think I'm going to cancel both nights and just do 1 day. I'm gutted but that's life .

Yes - I believe both eastern and western dispersals will be used for flying display aircraft as some (all?) of the northern loop is unusable.

Well I went pass yesterday and looks to be clearing ? Not sure if this will all be free in time for the Air show ?

It's due to finish early July but was running a bit late. It does seem they have caught up again now though.

Crews that will attend RIAT ‘22 received a ‘information bulletin’. In it are mentioned some ‘heavy’ wingspans of aircraft that are (still) not mentioned on the website….
