RAF Cosford Airshow Log / Requests

Post by Chris Deegan »

Hi All,
I attended the air show at Cosford yesterday (13/6/10). There were some fine flying displays but again poor on the ground, in that they insist on parking aircraft visibly in non-public areas and dispite a request after last years show, were unable to simply list the id's on a sign attatched to the fence! But then joe public isn't interested in that. Rant over here's my log, please fill in the blanks if you can.
