Southport Airshow – Saturday.

Spitfire in 2nd picture is PT462, a late addition to the flying programme.

Any model over 20Kg weight must be inspected during construction, then signed off fit for flight testing. Then the aircraft and pilot must make several proving flights before an examiner before being given a full CAA exemption to fly in public.

For further info, see the Large Model Association website

Just the Bulldog and Lanc are models, the Spits real. Well done spotting only 8 reds, there was 9 there, just my crap photography skills, didn’t notice myself till you posted! cheers.

As is the Lanc!! Just forgot to mention it – fantastic models though, a real credit to the builders. I seem to recall that the operators of large models needed some form of CAA approval / licence, is this correct?

I dont know what type off licence but yeah they do the larger models saw it on a prgramme once with Mark Found:D I thought that Lanc was BBMF’s but then I notice the Bounching Bomb 😀 Is the first spitfire shot a model aswel? Great shots there is there 8 Red Arrows or was Red 9 out off the photo.

The biplane is one of Southport Mode Aero Club’s models.

Whats the Bi-plane in the first picture? Didn’t know there was any due to display other than the Guinot Stearman.
