The Royal International Air Tattoo is to move to MOD Boscombe Down in Amesbury, Wiltshire from 2027 onwards, its organiser has announced.

Royal Air Force Charitable Trust Enterprises (RAFCTE), which runs the show, said it was delighted to confirm the relocation.

The change opens what the organisation described as an exciting new chapter in the history of the event, which is the largest military airshow in the world.

MOD Boscombe Down offers the space, capability and flexibility needed to support the event's continued evolution, according to RAFCTE.

It said the move would strengthen international participation, introduce new attractions and allow for more people to attend the event, which has been running for more than 50 years.
