Beelsby Model Flying Club's Battle of Britain Memorial Flight
A model plane club will replicate the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight across part of North Lincolnshire's skyline.The Beelsby Model Flying Club, based just outside Waltham, is holding the event for members on the L-shaped field at its site just off the A18 on Saturday and Sunday.The Warbird Weekend will feature more than 50 large planes, including two Lancasters, two Hurricanes and five Spitfires.James Carter, 40, who has been a member for about three years, said: "It's a great hobby for getting people outside, especially getting children into the fresh air, it really is fantastic."
He said: "The club was set up 40 years ago and the members' ages range from six to the early 80s, and we train people in building and flying radio controlled planes and aircrafts."It's a lifelong hobby for most of the guys at the group and is definitely a passion for them – we've got a hanger where they can store their planes and it's almost like a collector's hobby for them."Mr Carter said club events regularly attract members of the public, who enjoyed watching from their cars parked up nearby, and there are events coming up where they can take part.
He added: "On 17 May, we have an event for the public to join in with us, where five members of our group will train people to lift and land the planes."So far, we have 15 people booked on it and have five spaces remaining, and if it goes well, we will hold other events."Listen to highlights from Lincolnshire on BBC Sounds, watch the latest episode of Look North or tell us about a story you think we should be covering here.

Beyoncé at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium review: A 5-star, 39-track riot
But the Carter child who steals the show is Blue Ivy, who is giving nepo babies a good name. She joins the back-up dancers throughout the show and looks well beyond her 13 years as she tosses her hair and struts down the stage in a cowgirl outfit. Blue clearly got that uniquely American polish from her mother. At one point the heavens open, but it's far from a dampener on the mood. 'This rain feels so good!' says Bey, flashing one of her beatific smiles.
