Battle of Britain Memorial Flight to display at Cosford Airshow

0

The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight is always a moving display and thousands of visitors at the event at RAF Cosford on June 12 will watch as the Lancaster Bomber, Hurricane and Spitfire take to the skies once again.

The flight is described as a “museum without walls” and a “living breathing tribute” to all those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in World War Two.

John Francis, Air Show Marketing Co-ordinator, said: “The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight was formed in July 1957 and has completed thousands of displays and tens of thousands of flypasts, representing the nation’s aviation heritage.

“We are always pleased and proud to see the flight at Cosford Air Show and it is always a favourite with the crowds.”

And as well as the excitement in the air the crowds will also be able to enjoy a wide variety of entertainment on the ground with a fun fair, craft fair, market and aircraft exhibitions – as well as entry to the RAF museum.

Tickets will be £25.00 on the gate, only cash can be accepted, and £19.00 in advance. Tickets are free for children under 16 when they are accompanied by an adult.

Postal bookings should be received on or before June 5, 2011, and all major credit cards are accepted on the 24-hour Cosford Air Show Ticket Line on 0871 230 1083.

Tickets are also available from the Royal Air Force Museum Cosford, Shropshire Star offices in Shrewsbury, Hereford, Newport, Bridgnorth, Oswestry and Ludlow, Tourist Information Centres in Stoke-on-Trent, Stafford and Birmingham and in Mid Counties Co-Operative stores.
