RE: Cosford Airshow

will be approx the same price as duxford. The flying is more jet oriented and of course there is access to a great museum, I know cosford very well and would say that it was a fine airshow to go to. I think its quite family based and the flown in static park wont be huge, but confined to the jp run up pans that were built two years ago. as long as the weather holds out it should be pretty good. you wont get very much actually landing and taking off for displays because cosfords runway is quite small, only JUST big enough for a herc- as they have had tactical assaults there before for the airshows, and I have been present on the active side of the field when a tornado has made a practice approach so they could squeeze in in an emergency. Most of the dispaly aircraft will be flying out of shawbury, and the last time i was their for the airshow was on duty there and my boss flew in from shawbury in a griffon along with three other aircraft, which made a nice diamond formation approach, I think they were carrying VIPS from shawbury, people like the station commander etc.

if your more local and have been to the museum a few times there are some good viewing points around the back of the airfield, where the crash gate is situated, of course these are for emergency access and walking there on foot from the main road is the only option, DO NOT BLOCK THE ENTRANCE the coppers dont like it!
