Most of the website appears to say under-18s now, so it looks like this is definitely the case
Yep, and I see it's now been amended to say 'accompanied children under 18'. I hope they don't stick the price of the normal tickets up to compensate for how much they're going to lose by doing this.

We have received a statement directly from the RCAF regarding the CF-18 Demo Team rumour posted on here some time back, and the recent Airshowinfo.hu article:
There is a story being shared (link below) citing your page communicating information about the Canadian CF-18 Demonstration participating in RIAT 2018 and about the theme. The information being published is not from an official source, and it is inaccurate. While planning for the 2018 Demonstration Season is now underway, no locations are currently confirmed and theme details are not yet official. We expect to announce this information in the December time frame.
Well there are enough Plod wandering around the showground, so presumably by them ... if people are pig ignorant enough to think the Ts&Cs don't apply to them & refuse to comply when requested, they deserve to get hoofed.

Shelters are allowed to be bought into the event up to 1.5 metres in height as are step ladders however they are not allowed within 10m of the crowdline (apart from in the P&V step ladder enclosure) so that they do not obstruct to the view of others. This will be policed and should the problem persist the perpetrator will be asked to leave the event immediately.
As it states 'apart from the P&V step ladder enclosure' and the only dedicated ladders enclosure is at P&V east, does this at last mean that the step ladders and tall tents will need to be 10m back in P&V west?
There will be a Park & View shuttle bus from Swindon bus station on all days - purchase a combined Park & View and bus ticket online but please check that the bus timings fit your requirements before booking.
And for the smokers amongst you....
Smoking (including vaping) within the Enclosures is only allowed in Outdoor Designated Smoking Areas, as determined by the organisers and indicated with appropriate signage and is not allowed in any event structure at the Air Tattoo.

What we know yet is that Friday will see the big flypast and royal review. For the rest it will be depending on what the top brass from all over the world will send to Glos. Not many countries have finalised their plans for airshow participation for next year.
A weather forecast is a forecast and just that

Fair play that they're acknowledging that arrivals will occur on the Tuesday (although will a star static item arrive on Monday now?), but a tiny bit peeved that a) it's an extra tenner on the Mach3 (not really anything to lose sleep over though) and b) that I'm now having to contemplate persuading the wife that 6 days away is now 7 and booking another night's accommodation.
I also fear that the special Friday is going to cause some serious upset as I guess the weekend could just be a 'normal' air tattoo. I fully understand the reasons for the main event being Friday only, but with the nature of the British weather, it being a one day only event makes it quite nerve-racking that it'll come off. Fingers crossed!

I feel your pain. Its not so much the time away per se, its the using of annual leave allowance to the detriment of family activities. Still, it is just for this one special year right
Due to the scale of the 2018 Air Tattoo and us needing to find more space for static aircraft, you may be parked on or off base on either grass or concrete, so please bare this in mind.
Looks promising!
Shouldn't that be "bear?" I have just checked my copy of the Concise Oxford Dictionary (1952) and, to answer my own question, yes, it should. Come on Dan, you missed that one.
My copy of the Concise Oxford Dictionary (2017) says that "bare" can mean devoid of, without clothing or covering or the static at Scampton.
DBH should have an on-site crusher to deal with any ladders over 1.5m ( provide some extra entertainment ).....and if the ladder's 3m they can throw the owners in as well !
