Great call mate.

Ha- just guessed at a cricketing nation with a green flag! The type was the most likely Pakistan aircraft.
This is looking a good event so I’m considering going. In which case I hope this is a “needed” Hercules and not one that has been to RIAT.

Yes I haven’t bothered with this show for a few years, but I definitely need to raise the subject with the wife soon...
It could be a once in a lifetime opportunity to see some of these aircraft outside in a static display together.

People are complaining cause the price could be going up to £29, i personally think that's a great price for whats on offer... I think the main complaint is the fact that the majority of the static is made up of aircraft you can normally see for free, albeit now outside, and that if the weather is bad, there will pretty much be no static! Personally I think, for me anyway, it's too much to travel distance for but if you are more local, then I guess it's probably worth a punt! Not in the slightest dissing the show though just putting across a perspective on the negativity that is around and then my personal reason for not going. I'm sure it'll be a great day. Cheers Mark

Something from New Zealand in the flying display! (If the clues were as obvious as they seemed!) Presumably the 757.
To be announced tomorrow
EDIT- AS SUSPECTED...!
JET FROM NEW ZEALAND TO MAKE 11,000 MILE JOURNEY TO JOIN RAF COSFORD AIR SHOW 2018
Travelling from the other side of the globe, the Royal New Zealand Air Force will be celebrating RAF100 alongside the Royal Air Force on Sunday 10th June at the RAF Cosford Air Show, with their B757-2K2 airliner set to perform in the flying display.
The Boeing 757, which first flew in 1982, is more commonly used by commercial airlines and many visitors to the Air Show may have travelled on the aircraft type during their summer holidays! The Royal New Zealand Air Force, however, use their aircraft for strategic airlift operations, carrying cargo and personnel, including VIP transport and humanitarian aid delivery. This includes operations to deliver supplies to research facilities where the aircraft operates from an ice-runway.
On its trip to the UK, the aircraft will carry exhibits from the Air Force Museum of New Zealand which will be on display at the Air Show, spread across the ‘Vintage Village’ ground displays...
