I understand that the Police will be ininating certain road closures in the Shawbury area. When I lived in Shropshire many
moons ago I use to go to Grinshill Hill this commanded a superb view of RAF Shawbury which as the crow flies is about 5n miles

Any news yet on which day all the International aircraft will validate? It's been on the Friday afternoon in the past.

The good news, however, is this means that 50% of movements are correct . . . !
Anyway, hope everyone enjoys the event, whether at Shawbury or Cosford or both.

Rafale display team have tweeted 'See you on the 9th and 10th' which would suggest they are validating sometime on Saturday.

Any updates on arrivals today.
Also any suggestions on viewing spots as the last time I was at Shawbury there were Chipmunks in the circuit and Wessex doing the helicopter training!

The Polish Mig's arrived at Leeuwarden with a delay of aprox. 2 hours.
So if they continue today it will be a rather late arrival. The Casa is only arriving in Leeuwarden in 30 minutes, so around 14.00Z.
Pieter,

Are you sure that it did validate at Cosford or just familiarising with the airfield ?I guess if it was a validation then it won't do another on Friday or Saturday.

It's opens at 1400 ON Saturday indeed. Also got told today the reds will park on the West side over the Shawbury airfield this year.
Can you confirm that Cosford airfield opens at 14.00 tomorrow?Many thanks.

It landed on the fourth or fifth approach at Shawbury. There were fast approaches and steep climbs plus wing overs with and without wheels down. So to be clear I am talking about approaches at Shawbury.
