Southern Model Airshow 2007

by

RCM&E visited the Hop Farm last weekend so here are a few photos from around the show. More than any other event I’ve visited this year, the Southern Model Airshow seems to attract families and folks who wouldn’t normally attend a model flying event. In some way this is probably due to the family facilites available at the Hop farm whilst taking nothing away from the huge effort and hard work put in by the Croydon Airport MFC. The demise of Sandown along with the fact that this show is just about the only large event in the South East and the fact that many local flyers rarely drive north to attend say, Cosford or the Nats’ has placed the Hop Farm firmly on the map.
