Major international model air show returns

The International Radio Control Air Show, which showcases the best radio controlled flying displays from around the world, will return to the Fleet Air Arm Museum Yeovilton on May Bank Holiday 26th & 27th.

Radio controlled stunt pilots including World Champion Jamie Robertson from the USA will be facing off within the exclusive Zone competition where helicopter flying skills are guaranteed to provide much entertainment. Jamie Robertson's YouTube videos have been seen by over 1 million people!

Museum spokesperson Jon Jefferies said: "The skill of the pilots and the amazing flying displays has to be seen to be believed. Helicopters perform to dramatic background music and spectators react enthusiastically to every dare devil move encouraging the pilots to fly faster and lower, often ending with some hard landings!"

Budding modellers will be pleased by the appearance of various companies and experts in the field of radio controlled aircraft, to give help and advice to all interested.

In addition to seeing the International Model Air Show, visitors will be able to step on board the iconic British Concorde and see the award winning Aircraft Carrier Experience, all set among Europe's largest Naval aviation collection.

Tickets for the event are available on line through the museum's website www.fleetairarm.com, or from the museum shop. Normal museum entry prices apply and there is no additional cost to see the show. Those wishing to enter on Sunday 26th by making a Gift Aid donation, will be able to re enter on Monday 27th free of charge.
