Days after wowing 50,000 people by helping to open the Cosford Air Show, the farewell flight for a famous military plane is set to head over the RAF museum.

Members of the RAF Falcons parachute display team launched themselves out of a Hercules C-130 above the Shropshire RAF base on Sunday to kick-start a day of spectacular aerial displays.

"The Flying display was extra special this year as the C-130 Hercules transported the RAF Falcons for their drop to officially open the air show. However, aviation enthusiasts will have one more chance to see a flying example of the famous plane when three Hercules C-130Js go around the country on Wednesday, heading to various RAF bases in all four nations of the United Kingdom, including RAF Cosford.
