asked the Secretary of State for Defence what is the total estimated cost of the participation of the Royal Air Force in the international air tattoo at Royal Air Force Fairford.
Some £7,000 in extra costs for the established display teams: the Red Arrows, Battle of Britain memorial flight, the vintage pair, the Falcons and the RAF police dog demonstration team. This is recovered from the organisers through standard charges. Appropriate extra costs incurred for the participation of other aircraft and equipment are also recovered, but no advance estimate of these is made.
