Our final day at RIAT 2024 and it was leaving day, attended by a much smaller crowd of hardcore aircraft aficionados. First of all we went into the village of Fairford and had toasted teacakes for breakfast in the cute Post Office Café. We heard a local lady opining that she was glad to see the back of all the airshow tourists! We soon arrived at the air base where we were all in one area beside the main entrance, with a couple of food vans and a row of toilets. We brought both deckchairs from the car and enjoyed watching the aircraft leaving in ones and twos. The weather continued warm with sun and clouds; very pleasant, and there was a rather wistful atmosphere as the planes left us. Later I went for a swim at the open air pool in Cirencester, how lovely to be back! James read his book in the sunshine while I swam. We walked around the familiar streets and the pretty park and had dinner at Cote. I’m so fond of Cirencester.
