The Royal Air Force (RAF) enjoyed an exhilarating Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) 2025.

The theme for RIAT 2025 is “Eyes in the Skies”. To mark the occasion an RAF P8 Poseidon aircraft has been on display along with other RAF assets. Also on display was the future of the RAF’s air combat capability, the Tempest. The Tempest is being developed as part of the Future Combat Air System (FCAS) programme by a consortium known as Team Tempest, which includes the Ministry of Defence, BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce, the UK subsidiary of Leonardo, and MBDA UK.

The RAF village gave visitors a chance to see many aspects of the RAF while being able to talk to serving personnel about what they do and how they do it. The RAF village includes stalls from RAF Recruitment, Regiment, The Red Arrows and ASTRA, a team who strive for innovation and improvement.

Elsewhere, RAF display teams including the Chinook, Typhoon and Red Arrows took to the skies to show off their skills, impressing the crowds.

On the ground the RAF showed off many aircraft such as the Typhoon, Hawk and F-35B Lightning, a fifth generation multi-role fighter aircraft with the ability to hover in mid-air, thanks to it’s advanced lift fan system.
