The display line markers are ready?! Well, I might just have to rethink my decision not to go to Cosford...

Good work Peter - nice to see some enthusiasm for the show

A PA28!

The police helicopter based at Halfpenny Green is Staffs/West Mercia Police - West Midlands' Police chopper is slightly charred at the moment. . .

So all the static aircraft are in then.. Wolverhampton?! - it always has and always will be Halfpenny Green/Bobbington!!

I take it you are referring to the Fire in Leegomery

Any signs of the Jags going outside on static this year?

They were outside last year, just all bunched up behind one of the hangars and impossible to get a decent pic of . A pity that more isn't made of one of Cosford's biggest draws-the storeage hangars!

We will be at Cadets this evening so I will post an update when I get home after 10pm!

[garethbrum]

Here's my update:

As of 5pm:

Black Cats - flew rehearsal at around 11am

Navy Lynx for static

Merlin for static - sporty arrival!

Blue Eagles - flew rehearsal together and then the Lynx flew again

BAF Sea King - flew rehearsal

A Chinook flew through as well but didn't return

Also a Scout / Wasp came in - I'm a bit frazzled from the sun / wind and can't remember which it was.

Photos to follow if there's anything worth posting!

what can we expect to see tommorrow then missed today but will be there from about 10 tommorrow.

Display Hawk departed Valley at 15:03 today i'm guessing on it's way to cosford.

[DanO1978]

It was a Wasp, to add to Gareth's post.

Highlight of a rather slow day was the Merlin arrival - highly spirited, almost a mini-display!

Will post a couple of pictures of today's wafer thin rehearsals in a bit
