Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT)

16-18 July 2010 – Fairford, UK

Held annually at RAF Fairford, Gloucestershire, the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT), the world's largest military airshow, has gained the well-earned reputation as one of the UK's top outdoor family events. RIAT is organised by the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust Enterprises in support of the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust (RAFCT).

Finmeccanica and its companies attended RIAT, where they had a hospitality chalet for the three days of the event offering refreshments and lunches.

As part of celebrations marking the 150th anniversary of the UK Cadet Movement, youngsters representing all three Services were invited to RIAT 2010 to demonstrate the benefits of being members of one of the most successful voluntary youth organisations in the world.

Last, but by no means least, RIAT 2010 marked the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Supported by the Royal Air Force and including the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and representative international air forces, the Air Tattoo recognised the bravery of all those who fought in this historic battle.
