Judging by comments made by The Cosford Airshow page on Facebook. We could get a foreign participant update today. I won’t hold my breathe though they’ve been very cryptic and vague with their comments towards those who have asked questions. Unfortunately don’t think it’s a foreign participant toda...

Looks like they announcing the reds today Boring. Wait a week for them to announce a guaranteed act we see every year. Can't believe how much their stringing their announcement of raf assets with tone of their replies to international participation it makes me wonder they have nothing in the pipeli...

Boring. Wait a week for them to announce a guaranteed act we see every year.

If they're hinting that its fast jet related then I hope its at least an international jet.
Typhoon is basically a guarantee every year so just isn't that big of an announcement.

Maybe they've realised that bigging up the show, trying to build anticipation, interacting more via social media, then announcing the first act as the autogyro isn't the way to go?

Don’t know if I’m clutching at straws but the Cosford Instagram seems to be hinting at an F16 appearance for 2024. That’s based on the post and a comment I saw

Typhoon was great on the Sunday. The pilot this year definitely knows how to show it off properly. A lot of burner. Hope he stays as the pilot for next year

Just got back from an enjoyable day. I missed out on tickets so made do with viewing outside so cannot comment on the showground exhibition. It was an 'ok' show but not one of Cosfords best I'm afraid. Pat Suisse were very good and polished as always, Reds i thought were pretty good too. Loved the ...

Lynx is here, just requested start for a display That's good think most things now where they need to be for show sounds like no last minute additions unless flying into slot Don't think there's anymore flying display additions but they've been teasing a surprise addition which people have been spe...

do the Swiss use afterburner in their displays?

I watched yesterday and it was pretty loud

Quality display from the Swiss

Any action? Probably getting there at 1:30ish

No idea I'm afraid, I'm just tracking them whilst at work. Spitfire G-PRXI is currently over Cannock Chase and Rich Goodwins G-JPIT was in the vicinity of Cosford a few minutes ago too. Looks like the Typhoon is waiting to form up with the photo-ship now. ADS-B it definitely looks like a display ro...

Typhoon currently practicing and the RJF are with the photo-ship

Can’t believe I’ve missed it practice! Was it a full display?

Bah, my flight doesn't get into Birmingham until after 2pm. Wouldn't make it down in time. You are seriously flying to go to Cosford? Wow- But it begs the question why? I'd suggest there are lots of shows if you want to go to the expense of flying that would probably work out cheaper and orders of ...

Any word on when the Swiss will be doing their practice display?

tomorrow afternoon I believe

Mass exit at 4pm lol. Never understood the post-red arrows mass exit. If I was Cosford I'd stick them last on the display list so you don't have people causing carnage trying to get out in their cars with over an hour still left of the display. So many interesting displays don't get seen as half of...

Anyone going today to see if anything turns up? Apparently the Swiss will do a fly over today

Met office and my iphone weather app say cloud. No mention of thunderstorm and 10% chance of rain

They have also said there are more announcements to come so we could end up surprised over the next few days

Mmmm think some of you chaps are letting them off the hook somewhat!? 1 x reheat solo aerobatic display - no F16s, F18s, Rafale, JAS39, etc; says it all sadly. I guess they apply to the international air forces and then those air forces allocate items at shows. I may be wrong on that but I don’t kn...

Things don't change. A random post from 2009 " I just hope the committee realise that the show needs to progress and make some changes this time round. How about some more helos in static (especially from Shawbury!), how about positioning their unique static aircraft a little more carefully an...

Are people forgetting how tame it was last time and there was no hover? I'm still not convinced it's cleared to hover at Cosford - would be delighted to be proven wrong, however. We shall see - nice addition.

There was a hover. I remember because my eardrums were nearly blown out by it lol
