RAF Cosford Air Show 2018 - [Main Topic]
Re: RAF Cosford Air Show 2018 - [Main Topic]
I presume that they'll all be announced together as an RAF 100 announcement once the team are made aware of everything that they are getting, same with RIAT.

On a different note, according to the website ' A special flypast to honour the polish pilots who flew in the raf during ww2 is planned' . Sounds interesting, spitfire and mig 29 flypast maybe ?

Does it really matter, Cosford is the only RAF show, the Reds & Typhoon are the RAFs headline acts, Stevie Wonder can see they’ll be there
People on this forum can see that and people who know where to look can see the schedules that have been released. But joe public uses the Cosford social media feeds which have made all the announcements up to yet.

Don't the BBMF have a Spitfire painted up in Polish colours? With the MiG-29 it'd certainly be a very nice sight!

And amazingly enough Joe Public will find out when Cosford social media announces then... As you're on the forums and know where to look, why does it matter to you?
Anyway, it's the 10th April, the show is on 10th June. Ample time for the announcements kinda stating the obvious will be made.

Some good responses on there so far including acts that are no longer on the circuit and the English team the Red Arrows.
Re: RAF Cosford Air Show 2018 - [Main Topic]
Not to mention that well known nation, The Metherlands.

Great addition. Cosford really seems to have a knack for making the most out of apparently unattainable flying items.
Do we know if there is a static update as well as hinted in the tweet?

Did I miss the Polish Navy M28 addition, or have I just forgotten about it?

I presume you're referring to my response so let me reply to your facepalm.
In the tweet, the word "items" was used so taking that to mean multiple airframes and the country they may come from and so looking at the emojis used I took a punt at Netherlands (Tulip), France (Bike - tour de France) and Switzerland (Cheese).
Shame there's no emoji for my reaction to you on here...

Bike - Netherlands - flat country, many bicycles.
Cheese - Netherlands - Limburger, Edam, Leerdammer etc...

Never heard of that one. FYI the ground in Limburg as not very good for cattle, which is not helpful if you want to make cheese.The Baron wrote:Limburger,

From that great source of all knowledge known as Wikipedia (pinch of salt maybe?),
"Limburger is a cheese that originated during the 19th century in the historical Duchy of Limburg, which is now divided between Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands. The cheese is especially known for its strong smell caused by the bacterium Brevibacterium linens."
Apologies for sidling off topic.

Another bit of evidence that Wikipedia is as reliable as the last person that changed something, without knowing how reliable that person is.The Baron wrote:aviodromefriend wrote:Never heard of that one.

Cheese.com seems much more reputable when it comes to...well...cheese: https://www.cheese.com/limburger/
Sounds delightful.
The cheese is popularly known for its stinky aroma which has been compared to foot odor.
Sounds delightful.
