RIAT and the Future

Post by IATthenRIAT »

Just thought it would be interesting to try to imagine how RIAT will work/function from next year on, if the government decide to keep social distancing and possibly masks in massed gatherings, how could people keep 6 feet apart and how would the organizers at RIAT enforce this.
This may seem far fetched but even the government keep saying that things will not go back excatly how they were.

Why just RIAT.? You do know there are other air shows all around the country during the year.

Airshows are the tip of the iceberg due to spectators being relatively spread out. What about stadium sports such as Rugby, Tennis and the big one, Football? What about concerts? Even the youngsters going clubbing each week. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Also what defines a mass gathering. Does a commuter train qualify?

Another pointless RIAT speculation thread. How long before it's locked.

My point was more about people advocating such action.

Because I dont go to any other events and as I am hoping to go to RIAT next year, I was wondering how it might pan out.

Indeed night clubs or populat pubs will be interesting to see how they will deal with those.

I thought it was quite a valid question really in a RIAT related section and question.

You just help yourself can you - insult after insult perhaps a ban for you might be more appropriate.

If you're that unhappy with the forum, there's a button top right that will make you far happier
