Weston Park Model Airshow, September 2021


 As we return to normality, large-scale events are starting up (postponed, maybe, but going ahead nonetheless).  Football matches have crowds, and airshows have restarted!

The Weston Park Model Airshow is (despite the title) a large-scale event, which will include some full-size aircraft.  The Red Arrows aren't listed as going, but there should be a good range of other aircraft attending, along with model aircraft.  Model aircraft are amazing to watch, and if you haven't seen them before, I can strongly recommend seeing them.  They sound like the 'real thing', and have incredible manoeuvrability and agility in the air.  Providing the wind isn't too strong, they will be able to fly some amazing sequences which closely rival their full-size brothers.  Model jets in particular sound authentic - just like the full size versions - and the show may well include two model Red Arrows flying in formation (a sight to behold).


Weston Park has huge grounds, which will be filled with entertainment for the full family, including stalls, sideshows and a funfair (in accordance with Covid restrictions) and in the evening, the model flying continues and there's also a firework show.

The show runs from 3-5 September, including the evenings, and there's more information on the Weston Park website and the airshow website.

Weston Park is on the edge of Telford/Newport, and is not far from RAF Cosford (which I can also very highly recommend!).
