Here's the info for the Air show in cosford you asked for !!
RAF Cosford, West Mids: At Home Day 2007. One of the RAF's only two airshows this year, expect it to be busy. As usual, the museum will still be open. My guess is the first show will be around the same time a last year which was June 11.

There is a Vulcan nearing the end of a complete overhaul and when complete it will be airworthy and used at air shows. I understand it is estimated to be ready to fly again in June but whether this will be in time for Cosford I do not Know.
I do know that the Vulcan (great noisy smelly exhaust belching monster) was the worst aeroplane I ever worked on as an RAF electrician and I was not sorry to see the back of them although, fair to say, they were the best of all three "V" bombers and served the RAF well for many years. Having said all this they were an impressive sight in the air and I would like to see one flying again.

I saw the Vulcan in 1992 practicing bumps and circuits and wing overs! WOW what a great plane it was, so beautiful!

Don't know but it would be nice to see one in the air again.
There's one on static display outside at the Museum of Flight near Haddington....they also have a special hangar displaying a Concorde.
Oh to see them both flying again!

In his younger days, Spock from Star Trek used to drop a smelly fart and leave the room before anyone realised it was him.
He was known as the vulcan bomber.
