The commentator was my biggest gripe. He didn't seem to have a clue, absolutely no notice whatsoever that the MiG was approaching until after it had arrived, no idea when the displays had finished or not. It seemed like they were totally detached of information from the tower

I only watched on "PlanesTV", but got the impression that it was the same as the live commentator. Perhaps somebody can confirm.
Appeared total out of touch.
Didn't he have at least a scanner?
If that was the case, felt sorry for the people that paid in the cr*p weather, which of course isn't anybody's fault.

Personally ,I thought it was a good show.

I really went to see the Bristol 188,Fairy Delta 2, and Avro 707 outdoors.
This was achieved,and photographed in sunshine :clap:

Also, the desert Jag and Tornado were great for pics.

The organizers cannot control the weather,but the hangar displays were very good.

Well done Cosford. more museum gems outside please .

A satisfied visitor.

Any idea why there were no Jag taxi runs? that might have gone some way towards satisfying the fast jet appetite.
