Yeah the 4 apaches left Shawbury about 16:35 . Will post my vid on my channel as soon as I have edited it

Looking good that at least this point the show is going ahead but that could all change. Let’s hope for two F-35 landing at Cosford lol with a nod back to the days of two Harriers operating out of the base on show day

Funny thing is, even though it was a huge event for Brum I don't recall much local TV coverage.... Sutch a shame we cant dig up more pictorial memories, it was my first airshow and kick started my love of planes. My Father and I went along to the Birmingham archives to see if we could find anything...

I recently came across this old(ish) topic . Like others here, I too recall being totally amazed [even in those days] at how they managed to stage this Show in the built-up suburbs of Birmingham - a wonderful experience, indeed. In that Summer of 1973, I was home in Kings Heath, on vacation from Un...

Hi Ian

I have quite a bit of video if that’s any use. I filmed there on the Sat and on the Monday departures.

PM me if you’re interested in any of the footage.

Cheers

Mig in Cosford area as I am at HPG and we could see and hear it from here.

Just had two Chinooks fly over here in formation headed towards RAF Cosford any ideas. As they did not show up on global radar?

Cheers

Hi just got back from the first day and have to say thoroughly enjoyed it. Was able to drive straight into car park 1 park up and start enjoying the arrivals. Highlights of course the Vampire the Avro Anson and a fantastic formation departure by two Harvards. I will be heading back tomorrow for the ...

AN2 arrived around 5:30 this afternoon

Good luck guys for the weekend. See you tomorrow.

Hi all

Well anyone in and around Kingswinford and Midlands area must be able to Sentinel R1 ZJ690 doing loving arching sweeps high above the area today. Saying she is over 43000 feet!

Cheers

I have been attending the Cosford Airshow now every year since 1986 and over the years there have been some great shows. So I would like to point back to the 1999 show and hope that this years up and coming show can look something like this. I did film the whole event but I need to find it out of th...

They have just flown low over the house looks like they are headed into Halfpenny Green.

Hi all

A Puma just passed over us here not sure of the type of serial? Flying directly south to north headed towards Wolverhampton.

Cheers

Hi there thank you so much for posting this from the Evening Mail. Puts a little more light on this event would love a read through the souvenir pull out Thanks again Lee. D'you know - I've only just noticed I'm missing some pages!!! I'll have to dig further. The Whirlwind is XP356 from CFS/2FTS, t...

Finally found the Evening Mail supplement for this event. Still amazed by it... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v147/AEROMEDIA/Mobile%20Uploads/_20160926_004928_zpsqnk0fiyk.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v147/AEROMEDIA/Mobile%20Uploads/_20160926_120214_zpsqlcnu5hz.jpg http://img.photobucke...

Interesting to read that someone has posted about this thread but on another forum that they think the Harrier GR1 pictured above is XV759 can anyone confirm this please.

Cheers

Lee.

Hi all Just thought it might interest some of you to revisit this post I made back 2014. I was asked about it at the recent Jaguar event at Cosford so here it is again for those whom have not seen it also might be able to shed new light or more info or pics on this event which took place in 1973. Ch...

Hi all

Here is the link to the footage I took at RAF Cosford last Wednesday.

Hi all Well talking with the main guy from RAF Cosford there yesterday(sorry his name escapes me). He said none of the 86 Jaguar airframes they currently have at the Shropshire base are to retire they will continue in there current role but will no longer be able to power up there engines and taxi a...

Hi all Ok here are a few of my efforts from today. Great day good send of for the Cats. Thank you to everyone at RAF Cosford and 238 Squadron for making this happen.

Have to agree with the comments so far superb day with excellent organisation brilliant veiwing from my video it's hard to tell anyone else was there. Great to see the old girls one more time under there own power can still make some noise too. So as Spotty XX119 vanished from view so brought to an ...

Roger Heofling will always be my personal favourite fantastic authoritative voice and was extremely knowledgeable on what ever he was talking about. Commentated on every RAF Cosford show from when I first went to that show in 1986 up until 2002 when he was replaced by Sean Moffett and crew. I did he...

Just 15 mile trip for me from Kingswinford nr Stourbridge. Really looking forward to this one should be something special.

Just flown right over Kingswinford going directly north to south. Not sure of the serial number as it was not shown on my radar app although would imagine it was headed back to Brize.
