Perhaps the biggest memory of the 2008 display season was the weather which pretty much affected every event. 2008 was also the 90th Anniversary of the Royal Air Force and a major celebration was held at RAF Fairford during the Royal International Air Tattoo. It was infact the only event at RIAT to go ahead with the public days of the event cancelled due to flooding on the showground and in the car parks.
