RAF Cosford marks the second anniversary of German bomber rescue before Air Show

The famous RAF Cosford Air Show returns this Sunday and once again, the world famous Red Arrows will be headlining the show.

Acknowledged as one of the best aerobatic display teams in the world, the Red Arrows have recently revealed a new paint scheme for their Hawk aircraft this year, showcasing them as the ‘Best of British’. The team’s display mixes nine-ship formations with synchro manoeuvres, all of which involve their patriotic red, white & blue smoke.

As well as the Air Show, RAF Cosford in Shropshire are marking the second anniversary of the rescue of the world's only surviving world war two German bomber.

Engineers are working hard to restore the last surviving Dornier World War II bomber after it was rescued from the bottom of the ocean after resting there for more than 70 years.

Visitors to the RAF Cosford Air Show will also have the opportunity to get hands on with the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity’s newest Eurocopter EC135 helicopter, which has been confirmed for static display on Sunday 14th June.

The iconic red helicopter, which is one of three used by the charity, is taking part in the Midland’s largest aviation event for the first time in 2015, as part of the show’s Search and Rescue theme. T
