Model planes wow the crowds as popular airshow returns to Weston Park
Weston Park was transformed into a model aircraft heaven over the weekend as thousands of visitors enjoyed an annual event.
The sun was shining as visitors from all over enjoyed the sights of the Weston Park Airshow International, organised by Steven Bishop.
Realistic models with miniature pilots zoomed high above the stately home's expansive grounds.
The atmosphere was one of excitement as crowds browsed the stalls, checked out the display models and eagerly awaited the Saturday evening dusk display with fireworks.
The weekend long event runs from Friday to Sunday, with many people choosing to camp out and not miss a moment of the action.
Mark and Tracy Farrand, from Derbyshire, visit the show every year and were thrilled to be back after the show was cancelled in 2020.
The couple said it was always a big event in their calendar, as Mark is an avid flyer of model aircraft.
Mark was buying a new electric glider from E-Soaring Gadgets to top up his collection.
"I have mainly all electric gliders and they range from serious stuff to lower end pieces," he said. "These are not toy aeroplanes, like many people think, it's serious equipment. A model jet like some on display here can cost around £20,000-£25,000."
