They're actually a very good team.

I enjoyed their display when I first saw them at Cosford in 2008. Didn't think I would but I was pleasantly suprised

[EMarsh]

I adore the WWI team. The full on 9/10-ship routine is just wonderful. Sure, they're replicas, but that's beside the point. They put on a sky filling, entertaining and, at times, thought provoking routine. The Biggin commentary team did a good job at providing some historical context to the display, rather than just describing what the aircraft were doing. Airshows should have play-by-play and colour commentators...

Anyway, they excel at medium-to-small sized venues (though I thought they were perfect at Biggin and fully deserved the Best Team award), making Cosford an ideal location for the full routine.

[Lomcevak26]

Fully agree. Its just a great spectacle - a whirling historical carousel.

a whirling historical carousel.

I'm not sure if that's a Sean Maffet-ism or a Bernard Chabbert-after-5-glasses-of-wine-at-Legends-ism.

It's a Fiddian-ism!

Looks like there will be a combined Spitfire / Typhoon flypast at Cosford this year - on the BBMF schedule

[tomcatforever]

Dutch F16 is heading back to Cosford

[Domvickery]

Is it just me or are a lot of shows this year are picking up their game? The cosford line up (so far of course) looks to be one of the best for a long time as does waddo & RIAT! Fingers crossed i'll be attending all three

[EMarsh]

That's me decided then - Cosford is looking too good to miss.

[Lomcevak26]

[danspuggti]

Cosford is looking to be a brilliant show this year

Anyone know which Hunter may be displaying?

[Mutley]

I will contact the show office
