PREPARE to be thrilled as the Royal International Air Tattoo 2003 sets the stage for the 'smoke and thunder' of 21st century Top Guns, the magnificent Red Arrows and an A-List of national aerobatic teams, daring wing-walkers and a spectacular celebration of British triumphs in 100 Years of Flight.

Over 30 nations will fly in for Europe's biggest airshow. And there's even more family entertainment with hot air balloons, stalls, exhibits, road shows and exciting virtual reality rides.

The public gates to RAF Fairford open at 7.30am on Saturday and Sunday 19th and 20th July.

Flying display from 10am to 6pm, followed by free outdoor concert. Adults tickets cost £27.95 in advance or £33.00 on the day. Children 15 and under go free if accompanied by an adult.
