International Air Tattoo at Fairford. This is regarded as a show-piece for aviation with over 150,000 visitors. This year the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund International Air Tattoo welcomes balloon entries with the hope of establishing ballooning as part of the airshow structure. Opportunities for tethered displays whilst the crowds arrive and restricted tethering opportunities during the day, we are also hoping to negotiate clearance for a flight at the end of the day, weather and air traffic permitting. With an average daily attendance 75% higher than the British Grand Prix at Silverstone the event offers commercial advantages to sponsored balloons and Air 2 Air are keen to develop the ballooning side of the event to the benefit of those balloonists and the IAT. For further details and entrance forms please contact: Air 2 Air, Vauxhall House, Coronation Road, Bristol, BS3 1RN, Tel: 0117 963 3333, Fax: 0117 963 2263.
