	RAF Cosford 99
		Andrew Bates reports: Unofficially billed as the ‘Midlands largest airshow’, this years event at RAF Cosford in Shropshire once again attracted a vast crowd, which, apart from the fine and sunny weather, was probably attributable to the extensive ground displays, stalls, and other attractions (including a Sunday market!).
		Until recently known as the Aerospace Museum, the RAF Museum at Cosford is home to a unique collection of aircraft, which basically fall into one of three categories; Research and Development, Civil and Military Transports, or Warplanes.
		As far as visiting aircraft were concerned, Cosford has never been renowned for long lines of static aircraft due to the short runway and limited ramp space.
