That looks very good indeed. Is this because of the RAF centennial, in other words, is there reason to believe this could largely come true?

Been a few more additions, added them to the list. :-)

That's correct, Peter. Special effort made by the team this year for the RAF Centenary, give or take a couple of probable cancellations, it'll all be present at Cosford.

Interesting line up!

How are the aircraft positioned for the static show? All aircraft individually positioned with fences, flags and banners around?

Or a little bit more “spotter friendly”?

Not attended this one before but, I believe they're trying their best to park aircraft in spotter friendly locations this year.

For those wanting to go - note that you must buy tickets in advance, and that supposedly they may run out.

There is a 'photocall' on Sat, but I don't have a ticket for that.
