This year’s theme is ‘Take Flight.’ Kickstart your interest in a career in the RAF, and develop an understanding of what the Service does for the defence of the United Kingdom; Get close to the cutting edge of technology with RAF aircraft & unique attractions across the showground; And immerse yourself in a thrilling, action-packed flying display programme.
Going to hold off buying tickets for 2024 until I see the line-up take form. Bought tickets right away for 2022 & 2023 but left quite disappoitment with the lack of communication and updates, especially in 2023. Started strong but then went silent for weeks, maybe a month at a time.

Current plan is come home from Normandy on the Saturday. So they’ll have to pull something special out the bag to go the show this year

Quite a nice announcement. Not seen them since 2018 and a 2 ship display.
Still holding off, but a family member wants to go to Cosford so I might end up getting tickets if the lineup is strong.

A nice line up, but nothing wanting me to go out and buy a ticket

Still only looking like a "seaside show". Nothing to tempt me yet.

Doesn't Cosford fall when there is a USAF exercise or something? hence in the past they have had B-52? B1? So you never know what time will bring...

Drip feeding mediocrity, let's hope it improves.

I do really want to support Cosford, and while the displays are all good so far, there is nothing making me jump out of my seat to buy tickets. I can see all of those at a free sea-side show.
Cosford no longer really caters to us, it's main target is families who only care about the Red Arrows or the Typhoon and the last two years has seen the Cosford club clear out as soon as Red Arrows display (and there was still 90/120 mins of the show to go)
But it will always sell out, so it will always be a sucess. I'm at Duxford the weekend before and will see the likes of Catalina and Sally B there.

Guess not.. BBMF Lanc and 4 fighters confirmed.
Shame the German NH-90 is RIAT only, Cosford would have suited much better...
