The first Team Display of 2004 – The Cosford Airshow – 13th June 2004

The day of the show dawned hot and sunny with a light off-crowd breeze, almost ideal conditions for an airshow in fact! Can’t be be England in the summer surely? The Team flew an excellent display in the bright sunlight, before refuelling to depart as they had another appointment to perform a flypast at Netheravon. The pictures below are from the display, transit and flypast, a busy and satisfying weekend for the Team.
