Title: Impressive UK model show
Post by: Chappers on September 14, 2024, 05:13:40 AM
Attended the Popham model Airshow last weekend in England- 6 hours of non- stop flying displays plus trade stands and not so healthy food concessions .. lots of jets and aerobatic planes,plus gliders and helis. Surprisingly few warbirds, given that the Brit's are usually into these... about 300 people attended - not just modellers as it was community focussed so lots of general oublic willing to fork over 10 pounds for entry... standout models included a 55% scale yak, massive turbine jets and a turbo raven scale aerobat.. photos attached including some model boats for the sad ones amongst you (yes Frank that includes you ;D  .

This looks like a fabulous event.  Did you participate in the show or do any shopping, or did you just salivate all over the place?!!!

Looking forward to an in-person in-depth debriefing.

(@Frank v B, Simon has left you some nice juicy bait!!!)


Thanks for the great briefing Simon.

Andy
