RAF Cosford 2009 Airshow DVD - Description
Sunday 14th of June 2009. A lovely Summer’s day, with blue skies and puffy
white clouds. Perfect for an airshow. Perfect, in fact for Royal Air Force
Cosford to hold its annual big aviation event.
The Airshow was made very special by the 2009 public debut of the AVRO
Vulcan. This was the first appearance of the recently restored aircraft at
Cosford for 17 years. The intense interest in the Vulcan combined with the
superb summer weather made this event a sell-out with 58,000 spectators
attending.
Displays from the RAF’s frontline assets
included the awesome Typhoon and the Chinook which flew one of Plane TVs cockpit
mini-cams for a pilots eye view of the action.
Rare treats include one of only three Le Vier Cosmic Wind racers ever built
and foreign support from Belgium in the form of a Sea King.
Classic aircraft
types also entertain with beautiful displays from Hurricane Mk1 R4118, F-86A
Sabre, P51 Mustang ‘Old Crow’ and P40 Kittyhawk.
