✈️Get up close to some of the RAF’s most recently retired aircraft at the RAF Cosford Air Show (Official) next Sunday !

Making their first public appearance since joining the RAF Museum collection, the British Aerospace Hawk T1A, General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper and Westland Puma HC1 will be on static display in the RAF Museum Midlands enclosure.

Together, they represent nearly 50 years of RAF operations, training, intelligence gathering and frontline service.

🚁 Plus, for a small donation, visitors can step aboard the legendary Chinook Bravo November and explore one of the RAF’s most famous helicopters. Known as ‘The Survivor’, Bravo November played a vital role during the Falklands Conflict and remains an aviation icon.

Make sure you visit us on the airfield and experience this incredible line-up for yourself!

🚨Don't Forget 🚨

Once the Cosford Air Show is over, keep your tickets to enjoy free car-parking at your next visit or 2 for 1 on our 4D Theatre rides.
