Something new is coming… and we need your help!
The Big Guide to UK Air Shows.
We’ve been quietly working on something exciting behind the scenes, and we’re hoping to have it up and running later this year, ready for the start of next year’s air show season.
The Big Guide to RIAT is growing, but now we want to go even bigger.
Below is the first phase, however, we would like to work with Official Air Show sites, business etc. If your interested please get in touch, however more details will be released soon.
We’re planning to create a separate website dedicated to air show guides for major air shows across the UK. There are already a few air show websites out there, but we want to do something different, something practical, friendly, useful, and built by people who genuinely love the air show scene.
👀 Want to see the sort of thing we mean?
To give you an idea of our plans, please visit:
www.thebigguidetoriat.co.uk
This will give you a feel for the kind of guides, advice, and helpful information we want to build, but this time covering air shows across the UK.
👀 What are we planning?
The new website will be similar in spirit to The Big Guide to RIAT, but instead of focusing on just one event, we want to create helpful guides for air shows across the UK.
The aim is to help people who are:
New to air shows
Visiting a show for the first time
Interested in aviation photography
Looking for practical tips before they go
Unsure what to pack, where to stand, or what to expect
Keen to make the most of their airshow day
We want the site to include things like top tips, photography advice, packing lists, viewing guidance, airshow-specific information, and honest advice from people who actually attend these events.
🙋♂️ We’re looking for Air Show Experts
This is where you come in.
We’re looking for airshow goers, aviation enthusiasts, photographers, TikTokers, content creators, and anyone with real experience of attending UK airshows.
Do you know a particular airshow inside out?
Do you have tips that could help first-time visitors?
Are you great at photography advice, social media, writing guides, creating videos, or sharing useful information?
Would you like to be involved in building something from the ground up?
We’d love to hear from you.
🛠️ What we need help with
We’re looking for volunteers who can help us create and build what we hope will become one of the biggest and most useful airshow websites in the UK.
You could help with:
Writing airshow guides
Sharing top tips for specific shows
Photography advice
What to pack for airshows
Content ideas
Social media content
TikTok or video content
Visitor advice for families, first-timers, and photographers
Helping us shape the website from the early stages
📍 Which air shows?
We’re hoping to cover major air shows across the UK.
So, if there’s an air show you know well and would like to become an “expert” for, let us know. Whether it’s a show you visit every year, photograph regularly, or simply know inside out, your experience could really help others.
Interested in getting involved?
This is a voluntary project, but it’s a chance to be part of something exciting from the very beginning.
If you’d like to be involved, please email us at:

Please include:
Your airshow experience

🚀 Let’s build something new for the UK airshow scene
The UK airshow scene deserves something fresh, useful, and built with real passion behind it.
So, if you fancy being part of this new project and helping airshow visitors get more from their days out, we’d love to hear from you.
