Cosford Information

Known as the biggest and best model show in the country. This show is also one of the biggest in Europe. The range and scale of the aircraft flown is truly awe-inspiring. Cosford museum is one of the best in the country as well. A real treat of a model show. Just look at last year's report for a taster of the sort of models you will see.

This year's show is JULY 19th -20th

Somehow, this show gets bigger every year with more spectacular models. Here is a provisional list of some of the best features:

    All the usual vast array of LMA pilots.  These cover  all manor of aircraft types. All of the largest      
       models will  fly twice during the day. Some of these models are the largest to be seen anywhere in 
       the  world. The flying is scheduled to start at 9.30am until approximately 5pm.

    The world beating mass fly past of multi-engine aircraft.

    Many new models which will be making there first  appearance at at a large public show.

   Over the weekend, for the first year at LMA Cosford, there will be some full-size participation
