21st July

Golden Jubilee To mark the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II the Royal Air Force Red Arrows will give a superstar performance, soaring into a special routine dedicated to Her Majesty. And the show will open with an all-British flypast of Hunter, Harrier, Nimrod and Tornado aircraft, together with the 21st century Eurofighter, to symbolise the five decades of her reign.
At the end of flying, airshow visitors are invited to a Jubilee Proms Concert hosted by radio personality Ed ‘Stewpot’ Stewart. Trestle tables, bunting, union jacks, party hats and community singing will recreate the street party atmosphere of the Queen’s coronation in 1953, with top-flight entertainment from RAF and US military bands and singers. Stars of the Show Demonstrating perfect symmetry between man and machine, the RIAT flying display is a showcase for the world’s Top Guns. Tattoo visitors will take a front row seat for the aviation supershow - sizzling solo jet routines, gravity-defying helicopter manoeuvres, astounding aerobatic teams, massed flypasts, airborne set-pieces and the enduring magic of the Spitfire and other vintage aeroplanes. Salute to Bomber Crews
RIAT 2002 will pay tribute to bomber crews from all nations, past and present, both in the air and on the ground. An awesome array of aircraft will see Russian-built bombers lining up alongside United States Air Force B-52s, B1-Bs and Stealth aircraft. It is also hoped that a mighty Vulcan bomber, in her heyday one of the West’s most potent Cold War forces, will be restored in time to make a triumphant appearance at the Tattoo.
To remember the bomber crews who will never return, the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Lancaster, the world’s only flying Blenheim and a rare B-17 Flying Fortress will perform a memorial flypast watched by wartime campaigners, visiting aircrew and tens of thousands of airshow visitors. The Flying Fortress, star of the feature film Memphis Belle, will represent the United States Eighth Air Force on its 60th anniversary.
