LMA Elvington Fly-inHi all, I am going to call it for now on my Sleap pictures and move on, yesterday 22nd July was the LMA Fly-in and final test day at Elvington before the show. I managed to get down there this time and capture some for you so keep checking back every day.First up is a test flight for a plane that hasn’t seen the light of day for two years, am so glad I was the first to photograph it once again, Andy Johnson’s Vickers Valiant. This will be flying with the Vulcans at the show in a few weeks’ time. Next show is only weeks away at Elvington for more details go to www.largemodelassociation.com/events ... See MoreSee Less

Large Model Association Sleap 2026…Day 15 of my picture posts, after yesterday’s absolute cock-up of naming both the pilot and the plane wrong (hey, I don’t do things by halves!), today we have Neil Hyde’s L39 Baltic Bees. As always, Neil put on an impressive display. I absolutely love the coloured smoke! Sleap 2027 is already booked for the 3rd & 4th July so get it in your diary. Our next show is only weeks away at Elvington for more details go to www.largemodelassociation.com/events ... See MoreSee Less

SWAPMEET! … Now that we have your attention 😉 We know everybody loves a good old swapmeet! What could be better than watching your favourite models flying in the show, access to model traders, whilst also browsing around and chatting to other like minded modellers looking to swap their models & equipment for bargain prices!? 🙌🏻We are pleased to announce that based on the success of last year, there will be a designated area for a Swapmeet at our Elvington show across both days!This will be in the style of the old BMFA Nationals/ Car-boot, whereby you load as much items as you like, head to the show and sell your own items from the back of your vehicle/ have your own assigned space on arrival.Pitches are £20 each (in addition to your show entry ticket) and will be payable on the day. No pre-booking required.If you have any questions, feel free to message the page or send us an email.🎟️ And don’t forget, if you haven’t bought your ticket yet, head on over to our website to get them now: www.largemodelassociation.com/events/elvington-8th-9th-august-2026/ ...
