I went too, arriving early at about 7:30, had to wait a few minutes before they opened the parking, otherwise no delay for me (of course, that’s what I expected at that time), and easy getting out too. I am fortunate in being able to use the disabled car park, it seems (and I’ve got a story about that too – but I got help from the OIC Parking – so thanks to her for arranging an escort).
Gloomy, and not very good for photography, I’m afraid. Was faintly amused by people trying to photograph flying aircraft on their mobile phones, then complaining that they just looked like dots.
Was not amused by the extremely loud, to the point of distortion, PA system, and once again it’s speakers on pylons (they should take leaf or two out of Culdrose’s book) getting into virtually every photograph 🙁 -it was either that or high sided vans. I stongly suggest they sack the PA firm, for such an incompetent performance, and claim back the fees.
In theory Cosford should be one of my favourite airshows, being the first one I’ve attended this year, but sadly I only ever seem able to find something negative to say. It’s sad really – perhaps I expect too much from them, as I am a native of Wednesfield, Wolverhampton (which is just down the road), and I did some trade training there too.
Off to Kemble next – look out for me near the disabled car park, but on the crowd line.
