Record-breaking model show held at aviation museum
A record-breaking model show was held at an aviation museum.
The Boscombe Down Aviation Collection (BDAC) event at Old Sarum on Sunday, July 27, was organised by director Dave Berryman.
The museum said it was "record-breaking" with more attendees than ever before.
More than 30 clubs and traders from as far away as West Cornwall and Yorkshire attended to display their models.
There were more than 70 separate models entered into the competition and a number of trophies up for grabs.
