Cosford airshow. Well its been a couple of years since we attended this show. Normally a wet show, this year , the sun is out.
The RAF Falcons have just displayed, now moving onto some engine driven stuff with WW1 replicas.

Colin have a fantastic day, wish i was there too, i believe it's a sell out.

All the best Steve.

Thanks gentlemen. Well the F16 was loud, then the Mig 29 made itself known .

A very well flown Rafale impressed the crowd. Amazingly manoeuvrable.

Hope you had a great day Colin.

More importantly - Did you stock up on coffee cups and stirrers?....:thumb2:

Our Col is too professional to miss out on those Ron!

Rather glad I didn't go: https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/ne...cenes-people-abandon-cars-14766751#r3z-addoor
I'm sure it was great for those who managed to get in though.

We got there just after 0800. There was a bit of a que, but getting in was ok. Getting out, well, considering the A41 towards Wolverhampton was closed and everyone had to go towards the M54, that was a bit more tricky, but not Cosford's fault. We spent about 30 or 40 minutes in the field waiting to get out.

I'm afraid I might be disappointing you here. One coffee cup and no stirrers.

Was Hangar 1 open during the show? It's been closed for a couple of weeks, apparently because of electrical problems after the thunderstorm, but apparently it was opened yesterday then closed again.

I don't know. We wondered around a bit but as there was so much to see outside, we didn't really go inside.

OK, thanks Colin. I went there for the first time today, found it a bit disappointing.
