Here are some thumbnailed pictures of the International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford. I worked as part of a team for the week before and the weekend of the air show, setting up a passanger air terminal at the end of the runway. During the show we recieved about 10-15 aircraft and their passengers per day, the main aircraft being Concord.
