We have managed to secure 14 places sponsored by the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust for Friday 18th July when the sky above RAF Fairford will be filled with the thrilling sights and sounds of several hundred aircraft of all shapes and sizes, and from all eras and countries of the world.
Scouts from across the country will find all sorts of STEM activities taking place on the ground too. They can get up close and personal with a huge selection of aircraft and meet the people who fly them and keep them in the sky.
It’s a brilliant day out that puts a smile on the faces of many groups and leaders alike.
