The argument that Cosfords static line-up consists of Museum aircraft had some integrity in the days that the museum charged an entrance fee. It has no kudos now, for many have visited the museum often.

There is no excuse for the appalling line up of overgrown airfix kits and broken aeroplanes on a show that charges a £35 entrance fee. As for "With the exception of GR4 we had every front line fighter aircraft the RAF fly" What the F3 & Typhoon?? That shows how little the air force has become, but where were Nimrod / GR4 / E3d / Puma / Merlin / BAe 146 / VC10 / TriStar / C17 / ATC Glider (Vigilant) / Firefly / Squirral / Griffin / King Air / Dominie / Band of the RAF / RAF Regt / Queens Colour Sqn /

.....and with the BA influence amongst the museum exhibits, why did BA not contribute to the flying day.
