B52 oh god yes! Never seen one!


Does anyone have a timetable for the day? Or know what time flying finishes?

If the weather keeps up the way it is, it will be a miracle if the show goes ahead. The grassed areas will be too soft for vehicles to park on.or assemble all the ground activities.

Lot of rain has fallen over the central region this week with more to come.
thunderstorms and heavy rain into the weekend,
Cosford will have metal matting down to drive on to the field I understand, how it will cope off the trackway who knows.
Brollies being the order of the day for Sunday.

The organisers have no worries according to posts on UKAR.

Its also worth noting that in the event of the show being cancelled, for reasons beyond the control of the organisers, ie, the weather. There are no refunds. I remember 2011 when everyone was admitted at the gates, the weather was terrible, the heavy rain never let up. No flying except for 2 Tornadoes who passed at high speed and disappeared over Wales, never to be seen again.

Fingers crossed for Sunday

RAF Hercules added for a flypast..
Flypasts at the show looking decent.
B-52 to do 3 flypasts and not just a single pass.

[beefsteak]

IMMSC at RIAT a few years back the B52 did a fly past, another aircraft did a display, then the buff came through again. This may have happened a third time, but I've been to bed a few times since then.

'Plan A' is to take-off from Fairford & over-fly Cosford, turning to pass over Skrydstrup in Denmark. Then descending over Cosford for a missed-approach at Reykjavík. Iceland before turning over Newfoundland for a fast-pass over Cosford en-route Fairford for a late bath!
Punters at Cosford are urged to take a blanket & torch for the 3rd pass & warned that it will only carry-out the third pass if suicide numbers at the Air-show are acceptably low?
