Another great show at Cosby. Good to see it on the calendar again after last year was supposed to be the last event. Hopefully it'll be back on again next year!
I was there on the Saturday and as usual the big battle was an awesome spectacle, although the absolutely massive explosion that set fire to a huge part of the field was a bit hairy until the fire brigade were scrambled. It was amazing (and a bit scary) to see how quickly the fire marched across the field. Stood downwind where I was it was a bit warm and rather smoky!
Anyway, on with the photos...

This was 'abandoned' on the battlefield but was hastily retrieved before the fire reached it!

The airshow had some nice highlights but we were unlucky not to see much in the way of sunshine, particularly for the lovely topsides from the Lanc.

Re: The Victory Show 2022
Great stuff Peter - despite the greyness that was much the same on the Sunday when I went. Believe it or not, they managed to set fire to what was left of the stubble on the Sunday, the pyros certainly were impressive this year.
Sadly no Lanc on the Sunday so you picked the best day to go.
What a unique show it is.

Only been twice and didn't go this year but it's a bit of a hidden gem if you ask me, a great show with a great display line and topside passes galore plus all the incredible re enactments, great day out.

Thanks chaps. It is indeed a bit of a hidden gem. Let's hope the show makes a return next year, with an added bit of sunshine!
