Our chairman Andy Johnson has been in touch to send over some pics & words as he returns from his modelling tour of the UK 😂“Just home from 10 brilliant days of LMA fly-ins. First we had our Buckminster weekend that was a great success (big thankyou to John Greenfield for his work running the event). Then on to our regular 1 day at Elvington on the wednesday before traveling to Longhorsley for a brilliant 5 days!My only slight hiccup was a blowout on my trailer on the M6 on my way home.”Great commitment to get along to all 3 Andy! Lets hope the trailer didn’t cause too much delay or damage and all is back on track ready for the next one 🙌🏻Check out our website for more upcoming member fly-ins or our public shows (which are coming round very quickly 👀).www.largemodelassociation.com/events/#largemodelassociation #lma #rcplane #rcmodel #hobby ...
