Waterlogged air show decision due ![](http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/44826000/jpg/_44826425_226wet.jpg) Heavy rain has been falling on the site during the week **Organisers of the Royal International Air Tattoo in Gloucestershire will make a decision later about whether it can go ahead on Sunday.** The opening day of the event at RAF Fairford was cancelled after heavy rain left the airfield and car parks waterlogged. People are being refused entry at the gates and 1,500 pre-booked campsite arrivals have been turned away. An information helpline has been set up on 01285 71300. ![](http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/shared/img/o.gif) ![](http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/nol/shared/img/v3/start_quote_rb.gif) **It is anticipated that the show will be held on Sunday, but it will be only for holders of tickets valid for Sunday**![](http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/nol/shared/img/v3/end_quote_rb.gif) Tattoo spokesmanIt is the first time the tattoo has had to cancel one of its days in its 38-year history. “We are aware of the inconvenience our decision will have on the many thousands of people who have bought tickets for the Saturday but the safety of the public is paramount,” said Tim Prince, Air Tattoo director.
