LAST YEARS CAMP

Not everyone can say their Nextdoor neighbour is the world renowned RAF Fairford air base and we are so happy to be able to share our incredible views of the airshow with our fellow air tattoo lovers. The village of whelford comes alive when the air tattoo arrives and we are so glad to be welcoming it back. We can't wait to meet you all and enjoy a brilliant weekend full of action packed memories.
