Aircraft will be operating from Cosford for most of the morning. At about 10:45 am there will be a display of large model aircraft which will lead into the main display commencing at around midday. The detailed planned flying programme will be published in the Souvenir Programme; available when you arrive on site.

P-51D Mustang is a great addition.

Would liked to have seen Team Viper.

Could not agree more always great to see Ferocious Frankie at any show but i was really hoping for team viper also would have been the icing on the cake but still looks a great line up this year thats for sure.

Team Viper were keen to attend, but purse strings being tight and the cost of fuel at present made it a no go.

Im planning to have to leave before the end of the show if I go on Sunday .

Does the timetable tend to get posted anywhere ? Im guessing they will keep a biggie till the end, but thats a hit I'll have to take.

Thanks in advance.

They have put a quick flying programme in the Saturday edition of the regional Express and Star newspaper over the past few years :)

Station carpark is now on the left just before the road goes under the railway and turns to the right on the airfield boundary.

Ive also noticed by looking at that link that they are due to fly over my town at 19:13 lol

Wonder if they will sneak a performance in for me.

They are flying over the Throckmorton site at 19:12 ...whats th epoitn as most will have gone home by then. Shame they cant do a proper performance there.

The same happened at Sywell last year, it all depends on what time the Reds allocate to the event

It is with much regret that Team Merlin have to announce that we won't be at Cosford Air Show this coming weekend. This is due to rules and regulations that are beyond our control. This will be the first one in 6 years that we have missed. Sorry guys.

Sorry guys, it is to do with timing restrictions imposed by the show organisers. Pete- everything is on track for Kemble (fingers crossed)

So an RAF airshow (a pretty poor one at that) has to cancel a RAF participant due to timing issues? I give up. :wall:
