The biggest ever show at Popham is shaping up to be a huge event this August, two days of flying with more than 70 display pilots slated to perform on both days, Saturday and Sunday, 20/21st August 10am - 4pm. The flying will take place on the 900m runway closed to full size aircraft for the event. We will also be flying some vintage control line models and large models.
We are working on featuring FPV drone racing, although details are to be finalized in the next few weeks.
Supporting the flying will be static displays and in the main marquee there will be Model Railways and modelling demonstrations building scenery. We are expanding the event to all forms of modelling and Portsmouth Model Boat Club will be providing their 3500gallon portable lake for boat enthusiasts.
Southern Armor Group will be bringing along their spectacular model tanks and we are expecting model car racing details still to be finalized.
So far around 20 traders confirmed, these will be supporting the event and you can find full details of which traders are coming and where to buy tickets online on the Popham Website https://www.popham-airfield.co.uk/model-show-2022
The airfield is supporting the event with a catering village. This is a bold commitment by the Popham Team and BMFA Southern Region this year promoting the 100year centenary for the club. The huge team of volunteers and participants want to make this the best annual model show in the south, a true family day out, something for everyone.
