Hi Stefan,
Nice to see someone else going to the airshow. We had a great time last year but I was not a Ham operator then so had no need for repeaters. I will have a look arould and ask some questions later with some lads up here and hope to get back to you later!

The only one local with Echolink is GB3WO-R West Oxfordshire. The Number is 170343 and is NE of Fairford Air Base about 12 or so miles away. Not sure if you would be able to open it on site but a little drive and I am sure you will find a high spot!
Hope this is of some use Stefan,
Might catch you around the show? Will have the Handheld and maybe the 817ND. I am going on the Saturday!

Just sorting out my radios for the day. All the repeaters on the way down will be on the Yaesu FTM-10E and the D-Star repeaters on the Icom IC-E92 with the local Fairford repeaters on so I can listen during the show and the little IC-E7 will have the Airshow Freq on.
I expect to have a late night!

CANCELLED
by 2W0PWR Sat Jul 12, 2008 7:22 am
I am gutted!!!
AIR TATTOO CANCELLED SATURDAY
Due to the unusually heavy rainfall during the past 72 hours, a decision has been made by the organisers of the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire to cancel the airshow on Saturday, July 12.
The cancellation of the airshow on Saturday follows a sustained period of heavy rainfall that has resulted in waterlogged conditions not only in the public car parks but also on the airfield itself. The decision was taken following consultation with the police and other safety services.
Air Tattoo Director Tim Prince said it was the first time the Air Tattoo had ever had to cancel one of its days in its 38-year history.
“It is with great regret that we had to take the decision to cancel the airshow on the Saturday but the safety of the public is paramount.
“When it became clear that we could not guarantee the safety of the many thousands of people who had bought tickets for Saturday, the decision to cancel was straightforward.
“We are aware of the inconvenience our decision will have on the many thousands of people who have bought tickets for the Saturday but the potential risk of there being significant difficulties on the roads, in our car parks on the airbase itself were too high.”
It is anticipated that the show will be held on Sunday but it will be only for holders of tickets valid for Sunday. A decision in respect of this will be announced by 4pm on Saturday.
Please note that Saturday tickets will not be valid for Sunday.
Refund details for tickets bought for Saturday, July 12, can be found on the Royal International Air Tattoo website at www.airtattoo.com . For further enquiries contact refunds@rafcte.com

Sunday CANCELLED
by 2W0PWR Sun Jul 13, 2008 4:26 am
AIR TATTOO CANCELLED SUNDAY
The organisers of the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire announce that the airshow on Sunday, July 13 will not go ahead.
The decision was taken following lengthy discussions between the organisers, police and other safety services. It was based on concerns for our visitors and the disappointing conclusion was that we could not fully safeguard them.
The public is asked not to travel to RAF Fairford tomorrow.
Despite a huge effort by everyone involved to improve the conditions of the waterlogged public car parks, it became clear by mid-afternoon today (July 12) that significant areas of the fields and of the showground remain unusable.
Air Tattoo Director Tim Prince said: “We have been working around the clock to improve the conditions on the airfield and in the car parks but unfortunately we have run out of time.
“Many people will be desperately disappointed but I would like to assure them that we have tried everything possible within the time available.
“Having worked towards this airshow for the past 12 months, my team at the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust Enterprises and our band of 3,000 enthusiastic and loyal volunteers share the huge sense of frustration.”
The senior Police commander for the Air Tattoo, Supt Tony Godwin, said; “It is with deep regret that the decision has been made to cancel the Royal International Air Tattoo on both days. This decision was not made lightly. It was made in the interest of those visiting or working at the event.
“We would like to take this opportunity to thank those who had been planning to attend the airshow, for their cooperation and understanding.”
The Air Tattoo has set up a helpline advising customers how to claim ticket refunds as this cannot be done from the base itself. Details of ticket refunds are available from the website at www.airtattoo.comor call the Air Tattoo Helpline on 01285 713300.
