LMA Sleap Show 2026Back to the LMA Sleap Show, next up is the Red Duo, Matt & Steve Bishop, this is one of the best if not the best formation flying, sadly it is very hard to capture with a camera, but that doesn’t stop us all trying. These are far from my best, but luckily I will get the chance to try again in just over a weeks’ time, meanwhile enjoy the few shots I got. Next show is just over a week away at Elvington for more details go to www.largemodelassociation.com/events ... See MoreSee Less
