London for birthday celebrations
One of the largest model engineering exhibitions in the UK is set to
return to Alexandra Palace to celebrate its milestone 18th birthday in
January 2014.
From Friday 17th January
2014, the London Model
Engineering Exhibition will fill the
Great Hall in Alexandra Palace
with one of the largest modelling
shows in the UK.
Blending the full spectrum of
modelling from traditional model
engineering, steam locomotives
and traction engines, through to
the more modern gadgets and
boys toys including trucks, boats,
aeroplanes and helicopters, the
Great Hall will be filled with
stunning models and inspirational experts.
Over 55 of the UK’s leading specialist suppliers will also be at the exhibition
showcasing new products, offering special promotions and giving modellers the
chance to see and buy supplies all under one roof.
The ever popular Model Active Zone will be again be packed with hands-on
activities and fascinating technical demonstrations for the whole family to get
involved with.
As part of the birthday celebrations the show will this year incorporate a
special Robot Wars area complete with displays, robotic entertainment and
construction challenges for the
whole family to get hands on and
involved with.
Once again, the prestigious
‘London Model Engineering
Exhibition Society Shield’, which is
voted for by the clubs & societies
themselves, will be awarded. Last
year’s winner was Malden and
District Society of Model Engineers,
who repeated their 2012 victory,
followed by Harrow & Wembley Society of Model Engineers in second place
and the 7¼” Gauge Society in third place.
New exhibitors and displays are being announced regularly and can be
seen at www.londonmodelengineering.co.uk or follow #LMEE on Twitter for all
the latest news and developments.
WWI Airfield Stow Maries to be restored
T
he UK’s last intact World
War I airfield is to be
completely restored,
thanks to a campaign by
a group of volunteers.
During the war, Stow Maries
was a base for the fledgling
Royal Flying Corps, flying their
early biplanes against German
Zeppelins which were on bombing missions over London.
Stow Maries closed in 1919 and remained hidden, forgotten and
overgrown until 2008, when a group of enthusiasts rediscovered the airfield,
and began a campaign to save it.
The plan is to restore many of the buildings to their wartime condition, and
to open a museum commemorating the men who flew here.
It will also host workshops, teaching the old skills of aircraft construction.
Russell Savory from the Stow Maries Trust showed Robert Hall around
the site.
