EYES turned to the skies once more as a historic venue hosted another popular event.

Stow Maries First World War Aerodrome put on another spectacular event, with its most recent show filling the sky with a multitude of model aircrafts.

The Large Model Flying Show welcomed pilots from all over the country to show their skills, including a jet aircraft.

The museum has been battling against closure due to catastrophic road closures earlier in the year.

As a result it has put on repeated fund-raising events this summer.

The event which took place on Saturday, September 14, filled the skies with reproductions from all periods, including a Lancaster Bomber.

Visitors explored the award-winning exhibitions across the site, including the full-size aircraft in the hangars, before enjoying the large selection of ground models.

There were even opportunities to get up close with miniature steam traction engines.

Museum operations supervisor Doug Shorter said: “We have had a great turnout, so we are hopeful it will give a much-needed boost to our fundraising.

"The large model flyers have been brilliant – it’s just as complicated to display these aircraft as the full-size ones, so we really appreciate all the effort they put in to help the museum.

"They have put on some great displays, as have the teams on the ground. The feedback has been excellent from our visitors.”

The RJ Aeroteam came along to the event and their team of four added to the models in the sky.

Riley Howe from the team said: "We're just a group of friends who enjoy displaying our models all over the country."
