RAF Cosford (ICAO: EGWC) is a Royal Air Force station in Cosford, Shropshire, just to the northwest of Wolverhampton.
RAF Cosford opened in 1938 as a joint aircraft maintenance, storage and technical training unit.
In the Second World War No 12 Ferry Pool of the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) was formed at Cosford. This unit delivered Spitfires from the base and returned with bombers or fighters for No 9 Maintenance Unit. Ferry flights were often flown by women pilots. Amy Johnson came to Cosford on more than one occasion.
In 2015 the government announced that RAF Cosford would remain as a separate RAF training establishment and would receive a fourth training school (No 4 School of Technical Training), moving to Cosford from MoD St Athan in south Wales.
RAF Cosford also hosts the Aerospace Museum, which is a branch of the Royal Air Force Museum. Amongst the large collection of military aircraft is a unique collection of research and development aircraft, including an example of the Tactical Strike Reconnaissance 2 (TSR2), a multi-role combat aircraft that was controversially scrapped by the Wilson government in 1965.
The Cold War Exhibition was opened in 2007 by former prime minister Baroness Thatcher and HRH Princess Anne. Exhibits include the only collection of three V bombers (Valiant, Victor and Vulcan) in the same place in the world.
The Cosford Air Show is the only Royal Air Force air show that is officially supported by the Royal Air Force in Britain. The air show varies from year to year, but mostly consists of flying and static displays. In 2013, Prince Harry, as part of No. 662 Squadron of the Army Air Corps, took part in the Apache helicopter demonstration at the air show.
To install the scenery, unzip the "Zip" file and place the scenery folder into your Community folder.
To see all the objects you will need all the Asobo airfields, plus the Library files I identify in the screenshot that are also listed below.

Version 2
In collaboration with Regularguy, the RAF Cosford scenery has been updated to allow his Training Site scenery and my Airfield Site scenery to co-exist properly. He has also scratch built the Cold War Museum and Main Entry buildings.
You will need to load both my file and his file into your Community folder. His file is at:

Thank you for doing these but surely there is an easier way for us to install this (and your others) rather than making sure we have all those separate files in our community folder. Other developers must be doing this a different way as I don't normally have to make multiple other downloads. Can this be looked at please?

That can be done in FSX and P3D, but the JSON file requirements in MSFS make it very difficult.
If any other developer knows of a way to bundle multiple library files under one pair of Layout and Manifest definitions, I would be pleased to hear it.

I travel there every year when there's the Flight Simulation gathering, but I really can't be arsed to do all those downloads just for one airfield. Can't they just be bundled into the one package, with appropriate acknowledgements?

I share your opinion & await developers reply.

Great addition thanks but the shape of the Cold War museum is completely wrong, see the links following :

Brian, thanks for your comment.
My " Blender" skills are not developed enough at present to create acceptable models, so I have to rely on the many existing models that are currently available within the MSFS community - in this case, some of the Duxford models by the talented ChicoMick.
Brian, If you are able to build a model of the Cold War Museum, I would be happy to use it.
