The 2008 Thames Valley Model Air Show is now almost exactly a month away! As before, we aim to provide a continuous flying display – the schedule for which is available now on the show website. Note in particular the presence of the C17 Globemaster – said to be the world’s largest model aircraft!   The trade area has more than doubled since last year and will be located on the air-field this time, and we will provide more and better catering facilities. We look forward to welcomming you to Blackbushe! Allan TVSA <a title="http://www.thamesvalleymodelairshow.org.uk" target="_blank">http://www.thamesvalleymodelairshow.org.uk</a>

Thanks Peter You will find a list of exhibitors on the Exhibitors Page. About the same number as last year, but a slightly different mix. It will be nice to have them all on the airfield and close to the action! I have also made arrangements for more outdoor catering this year, so the queues out not to be quite so long! Regards Allan TVSA

Hi folks, thank you all so much for your kind words and good wishes. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the show and certainly hope that this will be the first of many! No chance of having the trade stands on the air-field I'm affraid, the ground can be very soft at times and is too easily damaged. Kind regards Allan TVSA PS Sorry for the delay, I've been away all week on business.

Nearest thing is the Thames Valley Model Air Show at Blackbushe, on Sat 19 May. See www.thamesvalleymodelairshow.org.uk Regards Allan

Thanks for all the responses folks. I look forward to welcomming you to the show! Lee - see the Exhibitors page on the website. Allan - I'm not sure about the towers, but the Fido trenches are still visable in places. Regards Allan TVSA
