Just Flight are in discussions with the authorities at RAF Cosford regarding this year’s show usually held in October.

There is considerable upheaval in Hangar One and Cosford can’t be definitive whether a show is feasible.

What is needed is for them to be persuaded there is considerable interest from the flight sim community and that Cosford is the ideal location.

If you want to attend the show this year would you please send a polite request to Cosford and if enough of us do it it will hopefully convince them it’s worthwhile.

Many thanks.

No, Chelmsford Leisure Centre is ideal. 😁

There was a show in Blackpool in 2006 when Microsoft announced FSX. I enjoyed the show very much staying for both days and then watching the Red Arrows and a Harrier perform. But Birmingham Airport is much closer to Cosford.

I've just sent my email to Cosford. I would hope that many in the UK would be desperate to attend the first show since the lockdown. An ideal opportunity to try out new hardware. I'm sure @tutmeister would welcome the opportunity to showcase his yoke and forthcoming throttle quadrant.

If you haven't already done so please write to them.

Me...me....me!  Just tuning up! 😀

See how quickly a perfectly sensible thread can be brought to it's knees. If only it was so easy for some threads I could mention. .😎 Sorry Ray. 😒

I’ve hidden posts clearly off topic. A flight sim show is important to a lot of people in Britain. Not had one since lockdown.

I never been to a flight sim show before, sounds fascinating.  Didn't even know there was such a thing until I read this topic.  If I had a way to get to the U.K. I would definitely go.
