Cosford Air Show

Well apart from a few spits of rain and slightly burnt sausages on the BBQ I had a good day today watching the Cosford air show for free from my sister's back garden. So ok we only got to see the fast or big planes that had to fly further out from the base to turn, it was still a good show. Although we have decided that next year she needs to cut the tree's down in her garden and remove the garage so we can get a better veiw!

One good thing was she put on the Air base's radio station on in the garden which were running live commentary so even if we couldn't see everything we at least knew what was happening and what was coming up next, also they occationally put on air the commands from inside the aircraft as they was doing the displays which was good. In the case of the Red Arrows it went something like this from the lead plane...."Smoke on......Smoke off.......Smoke on ........Smoke off" (In a posh RAF accent!)

I will try and post some photo's tomorrow but I'm not sure how they will turn out as most are tiny silhouettes of the planes...Whenever I could have a good shot my camera seemed to want to play games and switch off to save batteries or the like!!
