It seems that Cosford is a victim of its own sucess in many ways and the fact that there are not that many RAF shows about nowadays.

A true but sad reflection and with road travel being so popular there is bound to be gridlock. At Leuchars show last September I missed much of the show stuck in traffic trying to get through Cupar to get to Leuchars and then queueing to get in. Then it took until 8:45pm to get out of the airfield and with further hold ups getting through nearby Cupar I wasn’t home till around midnight and I vowed I’d never take a car to an airshow again.

So on Sunday morning I drove to Coventry Airport and flew from there to Cosford in Air Atlantique’s Dakota G-AMPY/KK116.

We took off from Cosford at 5:50pm, landed at Coventry Airport at 6:12pm, I set off from there in my car at 6:20pm and with no traffic jams I was back home here in the south of Scotland at 10:25pm.
