ELVINGTON SHOW TOILETSAfter receiving a few comments or questions around the state of the toilet facilities at last years Elvington show, we would just like to address this topic to ensure everyone is aware this has been resolved for this year. We unfortunately had an admin oversight on the maintenance of the toilets, which led to them only being serviced once over the weekend, mixed with a higher volume of show visitors than expected, led to them not being in a great state. For that, we can only apologise.We were aware of the issue ourselves and have already made sure that for this year they will be cleaned more often and there will also be more toilets available around the site to use.Hopefully this clears up any doubt and we look forward to welcoming you back in August for our 2026 show, which is set to be bigger and better than ever! πŸ™ŒπŸ» ...

Large Model Association and Twothreel Aviation β€” at Elvington Airfield.

1 week ago

Large Model Association
We have been sent this video from Twothreel Aviation in memory of our late, great chairman Dave Johnson starting up & taking off his iconic giant 1/6 scale, 20ft wingspan Vulcan bomber in the recognisable all white colour scheme, at our LMA Elvington show in August 2022. Powered along by x4 gas turbine engines!This was the last show the model ever flew at before it was retired. The model was stripped of equipment and now stands on static display at the Avro museum in Woodford as a fantastic tribute to it’s owner, who pushed & achieved so much for the LMA and our hobby in general over the years. #LMA #airshow #aviation #vulcan #avro #RCJet #largemodelassociation #elvington ...
