Both Rafales outside at 6am Saturday morning. Easy to see from the farm track to the crash gate off the Acton Reynald road.
Cheers I've recently move 10-miles away from Shawbury so I need to make a trip over.

Does anyone know if the Rafales need to PDA today?
Was done yesterday apparently.
Thank you!

A bit late I know but just to advise that the M42 is down to 2 lanes between junctions 5 and 6 for major roadworks this weekend.
Came through south at about 6pm tonight and was 50mph all the way so no real delay.

Thought it might be worth flagging up in case it does get busy tomorrow.

Hi, I don’t know a lot about planes but I’m trying to work out the name of an aircraft for my son.

We live near Cosford and at around 4pm on Friday (practice day!) we saw an incredible fighter jet fly over and do quite a long display. The noisiest aircraft we have ever heard. It was painted with bright-ish green paint underneath, maybe a camo style effect.

Anyway, we were waiting to see it today at the airshow but we didn’t see it?!

Does anyone happen to know what it might have been?

Thanks in advance

Still no pictures of this Air Show in the relevant photography section?! After a two year absence - or is it because there appears to be opposing views about the 'value for money' side of things?

Maybe due to needing a week of post-processing to to get the shots one should've taken? You must know the problems (excuses?) "tricky light, wrong settings, duff camera, planet alignment, ability drought",etc? :whistle:

Probably as the show was Sunday and it is only just Tuesday. Give it time and some may appear.
