Cosford to mark RAF’s finest hour
Monday 8th February 2010, 11:30AM GMT.
This year’s RAF Cosford Air Show will be held on June 13 , with a theme to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain.
Preparations for the annual event, which is expected to attract up to 50,000 people, are now under way with the line-up for the five-hour flying display currently being finalised.
The shortlist ranges from historic planes to modern aerobatic entertainment and 2010 is set to be extra special to mark the RAF’s finest hour – the air battle which turned the tide for Britain in World War Two.
The show features the only RAF flying display in the Midlands and one of only a handful nationwide.
Every display is built round the regular appearance of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight of Lancaster bomber, Spitfire and Hurricane and the Red Arrows aerobatics team, both of which are already booked for this year. Modern RAF Typhoons will also be on show.

We don’t go anymore because of the parking problems, that, and it cost’s the earth. It’s a shame really, used to really love it before.
