Cosford Air Show 2018 - Shawbury visitors

[reds1966]

Can anyone advise if the Casa is nightstopping?

I left there at 17.40 and it looked settled, the airfield ATIS was also updated to indicate the Tower was closed so unlikely it will leave. From Acton Lea you can see it from behind only and the MiG is side on - not sure if any other spots will give a better picture while it is parked.

Thanks to those who gave us the advance warning of this coming in.

Cheers

Yes 100%

It seems you have the incorrect airfield opening times for Cosford-10.00 -18.00 Friday and 12.00-19.00 Saturday.Info posted on UKAR.

Taken direct from the Notam.
Not copied it all as its massive, but Friday and Saturday the restricted area is active 2-6 local, that's not to say other things won't arrive outside of these times.

BAF F-16's currently inbound at Brize Norton. I wander if it's due to weather or if they'll leave/return from/to there on Sunday.

Any times for the French yet

Are there any times or hints towards any validations ?

[benno]

I saw on 360 Radar they were circling around Shawbury for a while before over flying Cosford. At about 13.30. The cloud base is low here at Cosford

I left Cosford at 4.45 today and nothing had validated by then so I expect it will be busy tomorrow.Cloudbase looked a bit low today.

Probably to stop people like this.

In the wake of Shoreham, peoples attitudes have changed, and rightly so.

You might want to re read the Notam.

States 14.51.

Notams are in Zulu, not local.

Direct from base I'd imagine? Thats what my guess would be that the half wrong fiasco included!
