http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-33594394 Version 0 of 1. Tens of thousands of aviation fans enjoyed a mass fly-past by vintage aircraft at the Royal International Air Tattoo in Fairford at the weekend. The world's largest military airshow featured Spitfires, Hurricanes, a Messerschmitt - and a final flight for the show by the last airworthy Vulcan bomber, which will be grounded after the 2015 airshow season. The RAF aerobatic team - better known as the Red Arrows - also thrilled crowds at the event, which featured 232 aircraft from 22 countries. Organisers say nearly 150,000 people attended. |
