Thousands attend RAF Cosford Air Show
Over 50,000 people yesterday attended RAF Cosford Air Show making the event one of the busiest in years.
Some however, were left disappointed after becoming stuck in traffic that quickly built up around the airfield. Queues stretched back along the M54, A41 and A5 as people headed to the show making the most of the warm sunny weather.
Show organisers said there had been an unprecedented number of visitors to the show.
A 5½ hour flying display kept the crowd entertained with displays from the Red Arrows, and Prince Harry as part of the Apache display team.
Other flying displays included the Avro Vulcan XH558, B-17 Flying Fortress ‘Sally B’, O’Briens Flying Circus, the SWIP Team, Aerostars, an F-86 Sabre, RV8tors and The Blades. The RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight with their Lancaster, Spitfire, Hurricane and Dakota and Eurofighter Typhoon also helped to provide an unforgettable display.
Visitors to the show also got the chance to see TV presenter Carol Vorderman, Carol supported a number of engineering exhibits to inspire the future generation of technical-minded individuals.
