Cosford is home to the National Cold War Exhibition and the RAF Museum

It also hosts the annual RAF Cosford air show which is on Sunday 1st June this year. The air show will feature the Red Arrows, the Battle of Britain Memorial Memorial Flight, the Typhoon Display Team and the RAF Falcons as well as extensive ground displays. Inclusive tickets are available from Wrexham & Shropshire: call 0845 260 5900.

Amongst the large collection of military aircraft is a unique collection of research and development aircraft, including one of two existing examples of the TSR2, a multi-role combat aircraft, controversially scrapped by the Wilson Government and still a point of discussion within the RAF. There are also collections of missiles and airliners. The Cold War Exhibition opened in early 2007 by former prime minister Baroness Margaret Thatcher and HRH Princess Anne. Exhibits include the only collection of three V bombers (Valiant, Victor and Vulcan) in the same place in the world.
