LMA Sleap - Large Model Airshow
2026-07-04 08:30 - 2026-07-05 17:00 | Shropshire Aero Club, Shropshire Aero Club, Harmer Hill, Shrewsbury, SY4 3HE
LMA SLEAP – LARGE MODEL AIRSHOW
The LMA’s (Large Model Association) first public airshow of the year kicks off in style at Shropshire Aero Club, Sleap! Read on below to find out more…
First off… note that Children under 16 go Free! So a great excuse for a fun family day out.
There is a phased pricing structure on the run up to the show, so book early for the best prices!

About The Show
Did you know that our Sleap show is only 40mins/ 31miles down the road from our previous popular show location of RAF Cosford? Located just north of Shrewsbury.
After we unfortunately lost our Cosford show site (which was out of our hands despite trying, as the RAF have stopped all events at Cosford other than their own Airshow), we have since moved to the new location at Sleap Airfield/ Shropshire Aero Club!
This is a popular and active airfield in the full-size world, with crossing tarmac runways, its own on-site museum, a cafe and many amazing aircraft based there. Returning for our 4th year in 2026, each year we have been looking to improve the show, working alongside the venue (who are supportive of our show).

What’s On?
Different to our other model airshows, our last show at Sleap had an approx 90mins lunch break for our RC pilots in the middle of the day to allow any full-size movements in/out of the airfield, followed by our very own scheduled full-size air display from a number of display aircraft booked for the show. We are hoping to repeat this again for 2026!
Of course we have our usual wide variety of large models in attendance, which when operating from a cross runway, allows us an unusual and extended radius to fly in, along with the ability to alter takeoff/ landing areas to suit the weather conditions and pilots preference.
There are many new models/ pilots joining us for our 2026 shows, along with some old LMA classics refurbished and brought back to the show scene, so we really can’t wait to show them off to you all!
Follow our social media pages (Facebook/ Instagram) to keep up to date with the latest announcements, or visit our website event page.

TRADE
We have our amazing British RC hobby traders supporting the show alongside other/ arts/ crafts stalls. Checkout the website or our social media pages for the latest lineup.

SWAPMEET
We will also be looking to hold another one of our popular car-boot style swapmeets for the public to buy & sell any used items. If you are wanting to sell items at our swapmeet, simply load your vehicle with used items, turn up on the day and let the gate staff know you are selling in the swapmeet. A swapmeet pitch costs £20 on top of your show-entry price. No pre-booking required and is payable on the day.

CAMPING
Camping is available on-site and we would love to build on this, with evening entertainment from musicians, food/ bar facilities open until late and some informal night flying fun!
Tickets are available to book online now!
Children under 16 are Free!
Camping access is from 10am on Friday 3rd July until 10am Monday 6th July.
There will be drinking water available onsite, along with toilets & Elsan disposal points.
Onsite entertainment in the evenings (Fri & Sat) with live music, bar and food facilities open until late.
There may be some informal night flying to watch from the pilots.
