Cosford Flying Display
Gates open at 8.30 tomorrow but does anyone know what time the flying display will start...I can't take my 5 year old too early or he will try to accumulate 3 ton of Tat from the trade stands and I am planning on taking the train home!
The NOTAMS have the RAF Falcons Parachute Display Team conducting a jump at 1100 hrs.

There is normally a large model flying display before the main display flying starts.
Record crowds are expected. I would think that the Vulcan would have played apart in that?
Record expected at Cosford air show : Express & Star

Low flying complaint
I really must complain about the Vulcan and the noise it makes. I live about 35 miles south of Cosford and all afternoon the Vulcan and 2 VC10s have been going backward and forward over my house. No doubt I'll have the same intrusion tomorrow so to maintain my sanity I have just one request - lower please gentlemen, a lot lower please!
It's 35 years since I left Scampton; in a few weeks' I hang up my hat for the last time - seeing the Vulcan again since those happy but noisy days has made this a Saturday to remember. I feel a beer coming on.

I expect one of those VC10's was the one I saw around lunchtime today making its way down the Severn low and slow made a sweeping turn just over Sharpness Docks and headed off in the direction of Monmouth. Would have been even a better day if the Vulcan had turned up as well.
Thanks guys made my day, if only I had a camera with me.

....at the Covert Oxonian Aerodrome today we were treated to a formation of the Vulcan with Vickers Funbus x 2 - superb!

A minute ago it flew over my house in Abbey Meads Swindon. What a beautiful sight. I'm nearly crying, brings back so many happy memories. (and it wasn't as noisy as the VC10)

Was just on the M4 somewhere near a secret airbase in Wiltshire and caught a glimpse of a very distinctive shape in my rear mirror, 
Even that was a beautiful sight. Didn't see the funbus escort though. Bit gutted, if I'd have stayed in Chippenham 5 more minutes I've have had a much better view.

Thank you, Cosford
Very well done by the staff on the ground for their fortitude on a hot day.
Top marks must go to an SAC crowd line marshall, who intervened in a most professional manner when 2 p*****d up punters assaulted a member of the public. He held the fort until plod arrived. Well done young man.
And the display was great, and I was off base inside 30 minutes.

Agree entirely, a great display by all concerned particularly Martin Withers and his crew.
Sadly we became unwanted prisoners in Car Park 7 and it took us nearly two two hours to get of the base. Great day out though
