Nord, France.
Last WE, I went to my first RC meeting, and it broke the preconceived ideas I had on this. No "real" planes, yes, but some were very nicely done models, they do incredible stunts with it, and with a little imagination, you forget the scale, and enjoy a nice moment.

The star of the show, a 5-meters large RC Fokker Dr1, who did a really good show.

On this same airfield, in late september will take place a franco-british meeting, to commemorate the Battle of Loos. This time will real aircraft, with theGreat War Display Team

As a bonus, some "aerial" views of the "Bassin Minier", taken from the top of a slagheap, it was the second anniversary of its registration on UNESCO's World Heritage Site, and a special fireworks show was given. Inspired by the "Call of Gondor", ten slagheaps were light on one after the other.

Really good Shots actionJoe......Raf Cosford Airshow here in the UK sometimes has a large RC display before the big guns take their turn


They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Live R/C shows are very much fun indeed. It is not so hard to imagine the appearance of this little birds being their full scale brothers. Thanks for posting.

Cool photos!
