Thrills in the sky and on the ground as 50,000 descend on Cosford Air Show
More than 50,000 people descended on the Cosford Air Show to watch and enjoy a full day of entertainment in the skies and on the ground.
The weather was kind to the 2023 show with the forecast thunderstorms failing to materialise.
Traffic problems were inevitable with thousand of vehicles funnelling into RAF Cosford. An accident on one of the entry roads added to the problems.
The accident at mid morning on Sunday happened on the Stanton Lane entry onto Neachley Lane.
A spokesperson from RAF Shawbury speaking at the time of the collision said: "Following a Road Traffic Accident on Stanton Lane entry onto Neachley Lane, traffic is moving slowly from the direction of Shifnal.
"Please do bear with the emergency services, whilst they work to get the road fully reopened."
The Highways Agency made the inside lane of the M54 travelling north an extended slip road for the junction for the airbase to allow traffic not attending the show to move past the queues.
Once inside the airbase the tens of thousands of visitors, travelling not only from across the UK but further afield were in their element.
