Star Carol Vorderman on countdown for RAF Cosford Air Show visit
Former Countdown host Carol Vorderman is to pay a visit to this year's RAF Cosford Air Show.
The popular presenter of TV's Loose Women will visit the event on June 9 to support a selection of exhibits related to engineering.
Miss Vorderman said today: "I'm really looking forward to the RAF Cosford Air Show.
"I'll be taking the opportunity to meet some of the organisations promoting science and engineering careers and I'm hoping to have a go at some of the activities on offer myself.
"With an outstanding flying display lined up as well it should be a great day out."
The engineering displays are aimed at inspiring young people to take up careers in the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
Miss Vorderman will join a number of women RAF personnel as a role model.
Exhibits at the show will include flight simulators and scientific demonstrations to rocket cars and 3-D virtual reality.
Also in attendance will be Jaguar Land Rover with display of some of their cars, including a brand new 2013 Jaguar F-TYPE as well as the XKR model used in the 2002 hit James Bond film 'Die Another Day'.
These will accompany over six-and-a-half hours of flying displays featuring over 40 aircraft, including the RAF Red Arrows and the Vulcan XH558.
All profits made from the RAF Cosford Air Show will be donated to the service and local charities.
