Cosford Station Rebuilt (or refurbished) at a cost of roughly £2m in late 2011, Cosford Station is open for business again. The old wooden structure was completely replaced by a steel-framed one, with new platforms and waiting shelters, plus the now-obligatory passenger information systems.

Breitling Wing-walkers The Breitling Wing-walkers are a team of aerobatic bi-plane flyers and wing-walkers, keeping alive the tradition of barnstorming in historic-style planes (in this case, Boeing Stearmans.) Barnstorming started as a pastime amongst de-mobbed WW1 flyers who weren't particularly excited by the prospect of returning to civilian life, acquired a number of surplus 'planes, and began the tradition of the Flying Circus. Wingwalking was added to the repertoire of tricks in about 1918, and soon became a favourite with the crowds, both in the UK and the USA.

Supermarine Spitfire PR11 One of the Merlin-engined Supermarine Spitfire variations, the PR11 was equipped primarily for photo-reconnaisance missions, and lacked significant armament. This meant that it could carry additional fuel and gave it a greater range than the more standard fighter aircraft, but it was a little disadvantaged if discovered during a mission.
