I believe Cosford entered a team in the replacement Brickfields Field Gun Tournament not so long back, and fair play to them.
The nearest you'll get to the original now is the students of Wellington College who have a slightly smaller gun that they run over an original style course.
Rumour has it that all the original guns and equipment for the full sized teams has been stowed safely away.... just in case......................

The RoyalTournament.org web site is part of a project to keep alive the traditions of the Royal Tournament which was the first, oldest and biggest Military Tattoo in the World until its demise in 1999.
Interest in the Royal Tournament has recently been revived; on 19th May 2008 the Ministry of Defence published the Report of Inquiry into: National Recognition of our Armed Forces. The report produced by Quentin Davies MP, Bill Clark OBE and Air Commodore Martin Sharp OBE MA recognised that “the Royal Tournament provided a very special opportunity for promoting the Armed Forces to the general public".

With this in mind, we have re-launched the RoyalTournament.org web site with two main aims:
1. To provide information on the Royal Tournament and keep the traditions alive
2. To encourage people to show their support for the Royal Tournament by joining our mailing list*
*The mailing list will be used for the purposes of keeping people informed of progress on the project. Information will not be given to any third parties. We will publish the number of people that have signed up to show their support.

Nice to see you'll added the 34 Sqn RAF Regt / QCS display from 98, that was in the view of a lot of people there, one of the best displays they had seen at Earls Court.

9 years on!
9 years on!
Nine years ago this week, Earls Court was alive with the sights and sounds of the Oldest Military Tattoo in the World as the Royal Tournament started its “LAST RUN”. The 1999 Royal Tournament was the 119th Tournament and in its final year the show played to full houses at Earls Court from 20th July – 2nd August 1999.
Please take a look at the www.RoyalTournament.org website and if you haven’t already done so, please join the mailing list. This is a quick and easy way to show your support for the Royal Tournament.
Many thanks

Bring it back.
Bring it back.
Re 1971, I played in that one with the Massed Apprentice Pipe Bands from Cosford, Halton and Hereford, I can't remember if Locking had one. We opened the show for the first two nights, then got to watch the rest of the show for free.
I was seriously p....d off when the B & B f..kwits in Westminster cancelled it as no longer appropriate or some other such nonsense. Bring it back, sooner the better.

yes, Locking did have a Pipe and Drum band, not that i was part of it you understand, just did a lot of marching around to the tunez they pumped out.. I was at Locking 71 - 72, dunno why they didn't take part in the RT tho.. maybe couldn't be spared from their highly technical studies
