Model airshow is back and bigger than ever
One of the country’s biggest model air shows will be taking place on Saturday 6 July and Sunday 7 July in North Somerset.
After being called off last year due to bad weather the Woodspring Wings Show is back and is to feature displays from some of the best pilots and models in the UK.
Now in its 21st year, the show is expected to attract thousands of model enthusiasts and visitors from all over the country to the Woodspring Wings Model Airfield in Yatton.
Woodspring Wings chairman Warren Smyth said: “The 21st annual Woodspring Wings Show is set to be even bigger and better than previous years, with exciting displays and fun for the whole family.
“Unfortunately last year the show had to be cancelled due to bad weather which means there’s an even bigger buzz surrounding this year’s show.
“The event has grown in popularity over the years not only in the model aircraft community but also in the local area. Even if you don’t know much about model aircrafts it’s a fun day with displays, stalls, food and drinks and if the weather’s good, it’s going to be fantastic!”
The Woodspring Wings show is one of the top events in the UK modellers’ calendar with flying expertise displayed by club members and top UK pilots as well as members of the Large Model Association.
Some of the biggest and best models the UK has to offer will be there, with everything from First World War biplanes to modern jets. Also featured at the show are an exciting high-altitude rocket launch and the children’s favourite ‘Toffee Bomber’.
As added entertainment for the crowds there will also be model car racing from the Yatton Model Car Club and a large model railway.
Ticket prices start from £6.00 for OAPs and £8.00 for adults with a family ticket for £20.00. Children aged 5-16 cost £5.00 with children under 5 going free.
Discounts are available for pre-booked tickets and families can camp at the site for as little as £15.00.
Woodspring Wings 2013 is presented by Woodspring Wings MAC and Weston Model Flying Club.
