Plans announced for the 2018 Woodspring Wings Model Aircraft show in Somerset
Posted on: 05 Apr 2018The organisers behind the annual Woodspring Wings Model Aircraft Show have just announced that the 2018 show will host a fly past by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Lancaster on Saturday 30th June. In fitting with the 100th year celebration of the Royal Air Force, the join of the iconic aircraft will make for a memorable show.
The show takes place from Saturday 30th June to Sunday 1st July 10am to 5pm.
Once again the show guests will have the chance to see an aviation legend flying over the wonderful Somerset countryside. Time will be confirmed close to the day.
The Woodspring Wings Model Aircraft Show has been a regular fixture on the flying calendar since shortly after the club began in 1989. It has since grown to be the biggest model aircraft show in the South West, and attracts around 5000 visitors each year. Held over two days on the first weekend in July, the show features all-day model flying displays by some of the country’s top pilots, many traders and of course food and drink to suit all tastes. In recent years we have also enjoyed fly pasts by the Red Arrows and the BBMF Spitfire, something we hope to continue every year.
Located near Yatton in the Somerset Levels, Woodspring Wings is ideally placed to run a show of this size and popularity. The club owns a total of 21 acres of land including the flying field itself and adjacent fields meaning ample space for the event and plenty of parking on site.
The Woodspring Wings Model Aircraft show is a great day out for the whole family. Whether model enthusiasts or not, there is something to entertain everyone.
Woodspring has always been popular with model pilots – “Everybody wants to fly at Woodspring!” and a number of well-known names in the model flying world will be here once again this year.
