Was that DHL 757 part of the display?

Great shots! Love both the Red Arrows shots.

Another plus to damp weather: better chance of cool condensation over the wings.
The DHL jet seems lost...

It doesn't happen often but occasionally you get something commercial appearing (often unexpectedly at the last minute) at UK shows. Most noteworthy in recent years was the SAA 747-400 which put on spirited displays at Farnborough, and more unexpectedly Duxford. I've been surprised in the past, mainly by the Ryanair "Jaguar" 737-200 which appeared at Old Warden in the late 90s and did several flypasts.

DHL at Cosford makes sense - its not a million miles away from their hub at (Nottingham) East Midlands

Nice shots and a nice mix of aircraft there, Craig

I'm still yet to see that Seahawk fly, though...

Thanks guys and yes it was part of the display. It did a few fly pasts on its way to east midlands after a cargo flight.

The DHL was actually a proper display in 2005.
I saw it display at RIAT and Sunderland, can't say it excited me too much to be honest but yes it was an actual display put together for the airshow circuit.
