Woodvale Rally is off to a
flying start
PLANS for this year's Woodvale Rally
are getting off to a flying start with the announcement that the model aircraft
will be returning to the event at Victoria Park in Southport, on 18 June 2016
and on 19 June 2016.
The Liverpool and District Model Aircraft Society (LADMAS) will
have planes flying on both days, from 10am until 4.30pm.
There will also be static models on display and flight stimulators so visitors
can fly the models on 3 TV screens. A large model Lancaster Bomber and other
jets will also be taxing twice a day and jet engines will also be running.
Andy Johnson, from LADMAS, said:- "We have been involved with the rally
for more than 40 years, After a 2 year break, we are glad to be back and hoping
to put on a good display for the public with lots to see and try out throughout
the 2 days. We will be flying a wide range of models including helicopters and
quad 'copters (drones) and electric powered planes."
The Woodvale Rally provides a fun filled, value for money weekend for all the
family.
