IRON MAIDEN Frontman To Rock Air Tattoo

November 11, 2006

The U.K.'s ThisIsWiltshire.co.uk reports that organizers of the Royal International Air Tattoo are working with IRON MAIDEN frontman Bruce Dickinson and PINK FLOYD drummer Nick Mason to support Children In Need.

The Royal Air Force Charitable Trust Enterprises, based at Fairford have put together a special, money-can't-buy prize to be auctioned on BBC Radio 2 next week.

As well as two-day VIP trip to the Air Tattoo next July, the winning bidder and their guest will be invited to fly into RAF Fairford on board two aircraft, one piloted by Dickinson and the other by Mason.

On arrival they will join Wogan's "Breakfast Show" colleague — and voice of the National Lottery — Alan Dedicoat on a flight aboard a piece of military "heavy metal" courtesy of the Royal Air Force.

In the evening the winning bidder and their partner will be among the special guests at the prestigious Royal International Air Tattoo Gala Dinner followed by a night at one of the most exclusive hotels in the Cotswolds - Cowley Manor.

The following day, they will be get a VIP behind-the-scenes tour of the show including a visit to the Air Traffic Control tower and a flight in a luxury jet courtesy of U.S. aircraft manufacturers Gulfstream, and they will meet the members of the RAF's aerobatic team, The Red Arrows.

Last November, a couple from Surrey bid £40,000 for a VIP visit to this year's air tattoo.

A spokesman for the show, said: "We've been associated with the BBC's Children in Need appeal for a number of years and we are delighted to be in a position to take part once again.

"We are extremely grateful to Bruce and Nick for joining forces with us for what is a dream package for rock fans who have a passion for aircraft or aviation enthusiasts who love rock music."
