Re: Arrivals
Lots of poor weather in the mix tomorrow, unfortunately. Some discussions I have heard - ATC at Shawbury have been advised that any planned practice displays (at this moment) at Cosford will be postponed. Obviously, it's a fluid situation and so this can't be taken as fact.

Would no practice mean no display on Sunday ?

Excellent. Hope it's better weather than today!
Re: Arrivals
Forecast for tomorrow is pretty horrific, unfortunately.
Re: Arrivals
It looks similar to today until late afternoon when it brightens up. Last year the 757 and Rafale practised quite late so hopefully it shouldnt be a problem.
Re: Arrivals
Looks like it will be a very busy afternoon tomorrow. Still a lot to come in I suppose.
Anyone got an idea of what's on the ground atm ?

Depends. Not just the rain tomorrow, by the looks of it!
Re: Arrivals
Would expect several weather cancellations today.
Re: Arrivals
There’s been a couple of cancellations, but Peter is hopeful that a French Air Force TBM700 will make it today for a last minute static addition.

Re: Arrivals
Im currently about 1 hour South of Cosford. Weather doesnt look great here. Rain is steady, sky very overcast , and wind is high but very blowy. Forecast says it should clear by mid-afternoon.
So Im on stand by and plan to hovver over Merry Hill , waiting to swoop in if the weather improves.
May I ask which bit of the weather will stop a practice or arrival ? Thanks guys.

Re: Arrivals
Steady rain and low cloud at base currently.
The cafe is open though and does a damn good sausage sarnie.
Rain will stop before 1pm though.

Re: Arrivals
Looks like it will go sunny/cloudy in the afternoon today through till late tomorrow so hopefully it will dry out the base and fields.
Hornet has a 2pm practise time, obviously weather dependant.

Re: Arrivals
Thanks for the quick updates guys. Hopefully it does clear by 1pm then .
The Notam States that the Restricted area for the airshow is in operation 1300-1700 , does that mean nothing will fly in before 1pm anyway ?

Let’s hope so. Some forecasts have rain until 5pm, but nearly all agree it will be windy.
Re: Arrivals
If today turns into a washout , the weather looks better for Monday morning so I might go for any departures if thats any good ?
Do you guys all watch from the railway station as Ive never been on an arrivals day ?
If so , I will be the guy with a fold up chair as i cant stand for long periods of time

Yes mate from the railway station, Ive never done departures but have done the last 5 years of arrivals, the railway station offers a great view of the base.

Re: Arrivals
I don't know what it's like at Cosford, but here at Shawbury the cloud base is very low.
Re: Arrivals
Do you have google maps mate? If so if you look at Cosford train station, just slightly to the North East there is a big car park, Ive always parked on here, its a 2 minute walk and you are able to see your car from the platform.

Pretty similar at the moment, low cloud and drizzle.
