    Pictured: The Red Arrows put on a display at the RAF Cosford Airshow, Wolverhampton, yesterday.

    Photographer Andrew Bartlett, 42, captured these brilliant shots of the RAF Red Arrows display team, performing at RAF Cosford Airshow this weekend. Barlett said, "The display was breathtaking, with the Arrows performing great manoeuvres, and the colourful smoke was brilliant to see."

    The Red Arrows have recently taken part in the 80th Anniversary D-Day celebrations, flying over the commemorative events in Portsmouth, Hants, attended by veterans and His Majesty King Charles, and over Omaha Beach in Normandy, at the International Commemorative Event where D-Day veterans were joined by world leaders including Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the Presidents of France and Ukraine, Emmanuel Macron and Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

    Roughly 55,000 people attended the airshow on Sunday 9th, being treated to both ground and air displays.

    The Red Arrows can be hard to capture, especially with close passes, as they are often flying at around 400mph. The Red Arrows are one of my favourites. They performs some great maneuvers, and the colours from the smoke look amazing. I used a fast shutter speed, and shot with a Canon R6. RAF Cosford airshow, Wolverhampton, UK. 9 June 2024.

    The AHDT comes from 3 Regiment AAC, which is part of the Attack Helicopter Force within 16 Air Assault Brigade.
    Each year, crews are selected for their expertise and skills in flying and operating the Apache, and have a considerable amount of operational experience, mainly from Afghanistan, and also Libya. The AHDT is not an aerobatic team and therefore does not require enhanced flight authorisations; instead, the operational aircrew have been thoroughly trained to perform manoeuvres within the Release to Services of the Apache helicopter at annual Air Shows.

    RAF Cosford Air Show, Shropshire, Britain - 09 Jun 2013
    On the 9th June 2013 Royal Air Force Cosford hosted their annual Airshow, attended by thousands of people from across the country.
    Captain Harry Wales flew as part of the Army Air Corps Apache Attack Helicopter Display Team (AHDT) at the RAF Cosford Air Show.
    The AHDT comes from 3 Regiment AAC, which is part of the Attack Helicopter Force within 16 Air Assault Brigade.
    Each year, crews are selected for their expertise and skills in flying and operating the Apache, and have a considerable amount of operational experience, mainly from Afghanistan, and also Libya. The AHDT is not an aerobatic team and therefore does not require enhanced flight authorisations; instead, the operational aircrew have been thoroughly trained to perform manoeuvres within the Release to Services of the Apache helicopter at annual Air Shows.

    An early spring chorus of frogs are captured engaging in their annual birthing ritual by amateur photographer Kathryn Wait at the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre in Craven Arms, Shropshire. Kathryn, an IT professional from Craven Arms, Shropshire, said: "A black writhing mass and low croaking hum alerted us to activity across the pond, in a clearing amongst the reeds. "We made our way round and were thrilled with the sight of probably hundreds of frogs engaged in their spring ritual. "On returning to the reeds in the evening most of the activity had stopped, but the frogs were clearly rather tired and were seen clinging to reeds near to the water (FOTO:DUKAS/REX)

    CCTV footage catches man throwing another against side of moving freight train at Shrewsbury station, Shropshire, Britain - 27 Jan 2012
    A man has pleaded guilty to endangering the safety of persons on the railway after being caught on CCTV throwing another man against the side of a moving freight train. During the attack in July last year drunken Daniel Worgan swung Robert Evans into one of the fast-moving train's cargo containers after Mr Evans defended some girls he had insulted. In CCTV footage Worgan can be seen plucking Evans from his group of friends and spinning him around before flinging him ten feet across the platform straight into the side of the train. Evans bounces off the side of the train and immediately hits the floor, only narrowly avoiding falling down the gap between platform and train. One of Evan's distressed friends rushes to his aid and helps him to his feet as callous Worgan calmly walks away. The CCTV footage helped to identify Worgan, who has now been given a six-month suspended sentence, ordered to pay GBP 500 compensation and carry out 200 hours of unpaid work.

    Rare Stalin Death Mask Sells At Auction
    Joseph Stalin's death mask has sold for GBP 3,600 at an auction in Shropshire.

    The bronze mask was made from a cast of the Russian communist leader's face and hands that was taken shortly after he died.

    It is thought to be one of only two to exist in the West with the second believed to be hidden away in a private collection in London.

    The mask and hands - including Stalin's withered left hand - were sold to an anonymous bidder by Mullock's auctioneers on behalf of a private owner.

    Before the sale Mullock's historical documents expert Richard Westwood-Brooks said: "There are nine original death masks, all of which reside in Russia. It was not until 1990 that anyone in the west got to see them.

    "These were cast from that original mask, and there are only two of them in the western world.

    "This is the only chance anyone is going to have to get their hands on this for the foreseeable future.

    "It is the closest you could come to having Stalin in your living room. I imagine it shows him at his most calm and serene".

    Rare Stalin Death Mask Sells At Auction
    Joseph Stalin's death mask has sold for GBP 3,600 at an auction in Shropshire.

    The bronze mask was made from a cast of the Russian communist leader's face and hands that was taken shortly after he died.

    It is thought to be one of only two to exist in the West with the second believed to be hidden away in a private collection in London.

    The mask and hands - including Stalin's withered left hand - were sold to an anonymous bidder by Mullock's auctioneers on behalf of a private owner.

    Before the sale Mullock's historical documents expert Richard Westwood-Brooks said: "There are nine original death masks, all of which reside in Russia. It was not until 1990 that anyone in the west got to see them.

    "These were cast from that original mask, and there are only two of them in the western world.

    "This is the only chance anyone is going to have to get their hands on this for the foreseeable future.

    "It is the closest you could come to having Stalin in your living room. I imagine it shows him at his most calm and serene".

    Man Finds 8ft Snake Dumped On Doorstep
    A man was stunned to open his front door and find a dangerous 8ft snake dumped on his doorstep.

    Scott Adams found the Anaconda - regarded as the biggest snake in the world - inside a container left outside his house in St George's, Telford.

    Fortunately the reptile - which is native to tropical South America and suffocates its prey - was docile due to the early morning cold.

    Scott, who runs an animal encounter business for schools and birthday parties, believes the snake was abandoned by an owner who could no longer cope with it.

    He comments: "I wasn't expecting to find a snake that morning. Thankfully it was early and it had obviously been outside for a few hours so it was cold.

    "They're docile at that time of day so it wasn't too hard to unwrap it. Had it been later in the day he wouldn't have been happy after his time in the box".

    The snake had been placed in a box that had been wrapped in duvet cover and placed inside a plastic container with holes punched in it.

    Once it was freed and warmed up, Scott had to be incredibly careful with the powerful snake.

    He said: "People get these when they are small and kind of cute without thinking that they will grow. An Anaconda can easily grow up to 30ft.

    "People feel embarrassed because they can't cope with a snake that big and don't know who to ask, but normally they call us and we go and get them, not just leave it in a residential area outside my front door."

    Scott has now decided to take the snake in, which he has christened Tiny, and add it to his burgeoning family of animals.
