Bravo, Bravo is an immersive performance being put on at the Cosford museum.
It tells the story of the world-famous RAF Chinook helicopter Bravo November, that will wow audiences as performers soar through the air with the help of a flying machine.
The dynamic storytelling experience, enriched with humour, dance, and plenty of audience participation, brings to life the Chinook's 'impossible' real-life tales, ensuring families are engaged from start to finish.
Over the course of the 45-minute show, performers embody the characters of Bravo November, and her friends, Vulcan, Victor and EAP.
Each aircraft with their distinct personalities, compete against one another in a battle to be crowned the best aircraft.
