RAF Cosford Airshow 2012

I decided to go to the 2012 Cosford Airshow and it was the first time id ever been.

I got there at about 9am and headed straight for the static, there was only one aircraft on the list missing and that was the French Air Force C-160 Transel but iv seen them before so its no big deal.

Here are the pics of the static displays:

Tthis was the first display! Pretty Cool!:

Now for the rest of the static:

There was more Static aircraft but I couldnt get good pictures of them without crowds infront of them but I did count 22 Jaguars!

Now onto the flying aircraft, there were quite a few arrivals before the star of the show opened the display:

Well this is what made my mind up about attending the show, Iv not seen a Jaguar moving since her last display before she was retired.

Definitely the star of the show!

This RAF Rescue Sea King arrived and I thought id put pictures of her arriving up as I couldn't get pictures of her display due to heavy rain:

There was then a model Aircraft Display then to kick off the flying display a banner was being towed:

So here we go on to the flying display:

Well that's it folks!

A great airshow and definitely one I will be visiting again next year!

Comment by AM on August 29, 2012 at 1:41pm: Great photos Adam !! I liked the shots for the Gloster Meteor and the Jaguars.

Comment by Adam Barber on August 29, 2012 at 12:51pm: Thanks mate!, yeah it was a pretty good day, bit of rain but as one of the regulars said it wouldnt be Cosford Airshow without it haha!, I was told that they have between 8 and 10 running and the rest as either spairs or used for engineering training, the running Jags are used for Marshal training wich happens at Cranwell, Barkestonheath and Cosford.
