Cosford Airshow 12 June 2011

Well it was a wash out but at least there was a bit of flying and the hangars had some interesting bits and pieces.

There is a large store of Jags tucked away on the field

I spotted this Tornado F.2 tailfin and thought it looked familiar. Then I remembered the last place I saw the fin it was when it was still attached to ZD937 at Farnborough Airshow in 1988

You got two of my all time favourites in those two pictures, the Jaguar looks stunning in the special paint job, I watched it being engine run only four weeks ago, the second picture I like isn’t the ADV but the EAP (Only part of it showing in the picture), an all time great aircraft, it will be nice to see that on public display in the near future – Mike

You did well to get those pics Richard, same thing happened in the afternoon last year!
Like you say, with Cosford at least there are very interesting hangar displays to take in.
