Royal International Air Tattoo 2023, RAF Fairford
Held annually at RAF Fairford, this event is considered by many to be the largest military airshow in the world. This was my first time visiting the show, and I opted for the Sunday which was not brilliant weather wise, but there was the odd sunny break here and there. The variety of aircraft on both static display and displaying in the air was mouth watering. I didn't take too many pictures of the statics, but I have included a handful. Most of what displayed is included below.
