Fairford RIAT 2017 - Avro Lancaster Bomber

            The Avro Lancaster was a British four-engined strategic bomber that was used as the RAF's principal heavy bomber during the latter half of the Second World War.
Once again the month of July is upon us and it's time for the annual Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford, England. Billed as the largest military airshow in the world; RIAT, as it is more commonly known by the thousands of aviation enthusiasts who flock here every year, saw 2017's event celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the United States Air Force. To mark the occasion of the anniversary, the USAF Thunderbirds demonstration team displayed at RAF Fairford with its F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft, the first time they have attended since 2007. The U.S. Air Force has provided the Air Tattoo with its 'home' since 1973, first at RAF Greenham Common and then at RAF Fairford. Without such support it is unlikely the Air Tattoo would be the event it is today. For 2017, the USAF provided its largest contribution to RIAT for many a year, and in our opinion this year's event was the best for some time in terms of the number of aircraft attending, the varied flying display, and the variety of types involved.
