While the highlight of the show arguably came from the French Air Force - Couteau Delta with two Mirage 2000s - the RAF themselves provided one of the biggest flying display contributions at any airshow in recent years. Types on show included the Atlas, Voyager, Tutor, K-21, Typhoon, both variants of Hawk (one flown by the Red Arrows) and the HC.5 model of the Chinook, flying at an airshow for the first time. The RAF Falcons jumped from an Atlas for the first time at a public airshow, and the RAF also debuted its new, much-anticipated F-35B Lightning role demonstration.
Civilian highlights included Navy Wings' Swordfish and Wasp, the Folland Gnat, B-17, Hurricane, Rolls Royce Heritage Flight and the Gazelle Squadron.

Just spotted that the closing credits weren't updated following the Midlands Air Festival episode! So I'm adding here my personal thanks to the Cosford team for hosting us, and apologies for not having recognised that in the video outro. Join us again for our next episode, from the Quinte Int'l Airshow in Canada, in a few weeks' time.

fantastic M2000D! such a sexy badass looking airplane with their fuel tanks! amazing! and Incredible aerobatic voltige. french pilots got skills!

I'm an American, but the Mirrage III is my 3rd favorite airplane. Obviously the F-16 is 1, then F-15. F-22 is cool, but not breaking world records for speed and altitude cool

THIS GONNA BE A BANGER 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The barrell roll into high-alpha pass was part of the display in its very early years on the circuit; it was this manoeuvre that caused the infamous near-miss at RIAT 2005. This is the first year it has returned to the display routine.

Turbo performed absolutely magnificently in that painted up Typhoon! what a Pilot!
-
Do you think the RAF will set up a full aerobatic display for the F-35B? Honestly I think I prefer this role demo, it is a lot closer to the crowd and provides some variety in display from the RAF whilst still being great to watch. I do wonder if they plan to make a display team in the future

Very good video, with a good commentary.
