The Royal International Air Tattoo has announced the theme for the 2025 show will be “Eyes in the Skies” showcasing the highly specialised aircraft used in aerial surveillance and intelligence gathering.

Over 20,000 tickets have already been sold for the annual event which takes place from the 18th to 20th July next year and with 248 aircraft from 30 countries attending the 2024 show, its not hard to see why.

Chief Executive Officer at Royal Air Force Charitable Trust Enterprises, Paul Atherton said: “This year’s show was a huge success and we are thrilled to see people are already booking tickets for next year.

“Planning is well underway and announcing our theme marks the start of the event cycle for RIAT25.

“Our event provides a special opportunity for people to see and interact with aircraft of all shapes and sizes.

“Next year’s theme means visitors should be able to get up close and personal with specialist aircraft that usually operate out of sight given the nature of their missions.

“We look forward to sharing our plans with you in the coming months.”

Aircraft that could feature in the theme include the Boeing E3 Sentry, E7 Wedgetail and RC135W Rivet Joint.
