ChloeJane Photography: Visit to Cosford -Airshow Review- 2013

So on the 9th June, me, my Mum and my Grandad went to RAF Cosford for the first RAF airshow event of the year, over 50,000 people attended as the weather was hot and the Vulcan was making its first debut of the year. Many people wandered around the sites of the air museum, static displays, and much more!

The gates opened at 8, earlier than expected due to the high demand of people which were going to turn up, meaning unfortunately there were ques for up to 4 hours on the motorway and some people never even made it to Cosford.
But anyway throughout the day many events took place, and many were very exciting. the weather kept very good throughout the day and it was very warm too.

The air display acts were amazing in themselves some of the top flying display acts which took place from the RAF are the Red arrows with their amazing aerobatics, the Typhoon and its high speed display, the Chinook with completed its own display, then completed a MERT demo with the Apache (with its amazing flying crew and an attendance from Prince Harry himself) which then the Apache completed its own display. The Battle of Britain Lancaster, Spitfire, Hurricane and Dakota and its display holding memories. And some of the civilian acts such as The Blades with their stunts, Sally-B and her memorable flying display, The Vulcan - which many people came to see, which completed a few flypasts with the Rv8tors then completed its own display. There was also a lot more aircraft participating such as the RAF falcons, RAF Sea King and its SAR demo, the RAF Tucano, the Army air cops Lynx, the Sea Fury, Aerostars, F-86 Sabre, O'briens Flying Circus, Swip Team, Rv8tors and the Supermarine Spitfire.
And there was a special flypast organised from the C130-J Hercules which took place from the VC10 flying past in last years show. The spectacular flying display lasted around 6 hours, and kept all of the crowd entertained.

Overall- the airshow was very planned out with a vary of activities to participate in, plenty to see and plenty to do, the weather was good for the day, the air display was brilliant watching all the aerobatics etc. And I hope to return to Cosford next year on the 8th June 2014.
