Jaguar jets and cars on the catwalk at RAF Cosford Air Show
Machines with links to the world of the big cat will take centre stage at this year's RAF Cosford Air Show as it celebrates a number of landmarks.
The event, which will also celebrate the 75th anniversary of both RAF Cosford and the entry into RAF service of the Spitfire aircraft, also will also be celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Jaguar aircraft.
The Jaguar jets, whilst no longer on front line duty with the RAF, are still used at Cosford to help train the next generation of aircraft technicians and engineers.
Cosford is now the only Royal Air Force station operating these aircraft.
Jaguar Land Rover will also be attending this year's air show, bringing a selection of their finest cars.
Last year the air show gave its visitors a rare glimpse of the Jaguar in action as it was started up and taxied down the runway.
Organisers said the display was so well received they were keen to demonstrate the aircraft again this year.
The brand new Jaguar F-Type Convertible will also be on display, as well as some famous vehicles including the XKR model used as James Bond's car in the 2002 hit Die Another Day.
Air Show spokesman Flying Officer Sam Jewell said the RAF Cosford Air Show team was pleased to offer visitors a rare opportunity to witness the jet in action.
He said: "We were blown away last year with the warm reception that the Jaguars received and are more than happy to offer twice as much noise and excitement to open this year's show.
"We are also happy to welcome Jaguar Land Rover to the event who will not only be strengthening our superb ground display line up, but also contributing significantly to the Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics exhibit."
All profits made from the RAF Cosford Air Show are donated to service and charities.
