THE Royal International Air Tattoo wants prominent sites on which it can display it new artwork.

Organisers of the event at RAF Fairford are hoping that landowners with fields, or property, adjoining main roads or other highly visible locations to help display advertising hoardings and banners promoting this summer’s event.

Striking new artwork for this summer’s airshow, designed by aviation artist David Bent, of Old Town, has almost been finalised.

Helen Webb, deputy director of marketing, said: “By allowing us to promote the Air Tattoo on their property, landowners will not only join us in supporting such a worthy charity but they will also receive complimentary tickets for the airshow.

“Ideally we are looking at locations within a 60-mile radius of RAF Fairford.”

The Air Tattoo is set to take place on July 16 and 17 and it will be celebrating its 40th anniversary. If anyone can help they should email their details to marketing2@rafcte.com.

Earlybird tickets, priced £34, are available from www.airtattoo.com or by calling the Air Tattoo box office on 0800 107 1940 until February 28.

All accompanied under 16-year-olds are admitted free.
