RAF Cosford Air Show 2017 - [Main Topic]

[Lucasjmet15]

The website says the the Irish air corps are providing an aircraft for this years show !!

Possibly a Pilatus PC-9M similar to last year

Brill, would love it if it had a gun pod on as well !

France still in discussion...

This is a long shot but have Couteau Delta announced the additional airshow that they said they hadn't had full confirmation for on twitter just over a week ago?

I can't see anything about the additional airshow yet on their twitter or facebook so I'm guessing they haven't but someone here, e.g a Mr Bean character might have inside information

I think we need a search party for Mr bean, hes been silent for weeks !

Perhaps he's done a runner!! He was looking a bit green!

Here we go again

He's bean silenced - we need another sauce.

That's what you call a "Has Bean" or maybe he's bean toasted, who knows!?

He's been out in the sun, he's baked

He's been out in the sun, he's baked

His accuracy was somewhat uncanny? I'd relent at using the phrase "half baked"!

Quick question: will there be a map of the show posted between now and Sunday the 11th ?

Looks like it was added to the website today. And "Radio Cosford" is on the frontpage too.

Brilliant !

Hah, that's when you know Cosford's round the corner - Radio Cosford starts up!

I remember the days of Sean Maffett being the commentator! Heard he was awful in 2015 though

I don't know if I imagined if or if I read it on hear or heard it somewhere but I think the view the commentators get from the control tower is restricted as Maffett in 2015 and the guy last year didn't seem to know what was arriving or from what direction at times.

Take a look at the map, you can see how far back the ATC tower is, it impacted on the (already dire) performance of last year's commentary team too. "And as the aircraft departs to the East, up next will be the Chinook, oh hold on the MiG is coming back for another pass. Think this is his last - oh wait looks like he's coming back for another one"

Not really a fan of baked.

BREAKING: BBC NEWS WEATHER

With a little over a week to go,

It is 100% confirmed!!!! Sunny Intervals!

/s

[Andyperkins]

Which will change a dozen times between now and then.

I know, hence the sarcasm.
Let's just hope it changes in a positive way, although I'd definitely take sunny intervals.

Ireland confirmed, according to the website - a return of their CASA CN-235 would be most welcome.

Cessna 172 would be far better.
