They really should consider letting people on foot/campers into the show - just making clear the carparks are shut. Just seems a shame for the Brazilians and the raptors who have travelled along way to be the stars of the show!
I bet DBH are gutted right now....
from an email they sent me (includes monday departure day details)
The organisers of the Royal International Air Tattoo have announced that
the airshow on Sunday, 13 July will not go ahead.
Despite a huge effort by everyone involved to improve conditions of the
waterlogged car parks, it became clear by mid afternoon today (July 12)
that significant areas of the fields remained unusable.
Air Tattoo staff and volunteers have been working around the clock to
try and improve the conditions on the airfield and in the car parks but
have unfortunately run out of time.
Please do not travel to RAF Fairford tomorrow. For those seeking a
refund please see the details below. These cannot be obtained from the
base itself.
We appreciate that many people will be desperately disappointed but rest
assured we have done our utmost to try and ensure the show continued but
the safety of the public is paramount.
We would like to take the opportunity to thank those who had been
planning to attend the airshow, for the cooperation and understanding.
