The Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) has announced that Tiger Gathering will be one of the main themes for the 2027 Air Tattoo.

The gathering will mark 50 years since the original Tiger Trophy was presented to the NATO Tiger Association by the International Air Tattoo and will see current and historical aircraft from across NATO countries, many of which will be adorned with special tiger markings.

Known for its spirit of camaraderie, professionalism and creativity, the NATO Tiget Association showcasing its special marked aircraft if one its most celebrated traditions.

Peter Reoch, Head of Air Operations at Royal Air Force Charitable Trust Enterprises, said: “The 50th anniversary of the Silver Tiger Trophy is a fantastic milestone and a brilliant opportunity for us to celebrate the heritage and enduring spirit of the NATO Tiger Association at RIAT.

“The Tiger Meet community is renowned for its energy, colour and personality. Bringing that to RIAT means our visitors can look forward to an unforgettable experience – a ramp full of some of the most eye-catching military aircraft anywhere in the world.”

The news will give aviation enthusiasts something to look forward after the cancellation of this years event due to the ongoing US Iran conflict.

Tiger Gathering will be just one part of the 2027 Air Tattoo which promises to come back bigger and better than ever.

“It takes years of planning to deliver an event on the scale of RIAT,” added Peter. “Although RIAT27 may seem some way off, our team is already working hard to shape an exceptional show.

“Alongside Tiger Gathering, we have several other exciting themes in development, and we look forward to sharing more details as plans continue to take shape.”
