This page contains details of the LMA events at which the public are invited to attend. These events are always extremely popular with LMA members and public spectators.  A list of this year's events is presented first and then some reports from previous events to give you a flavour of what you could be missing.


Details of the public displays in 2008 are:

Southport Show   - on the beach 28-29th June

Cosford 19-20th July

Known as the biggest and best model show in the country. The range and scale of the aircraft flown is truly awe-inspiring. Cosford museum is one of the best in the country as well, from 8 of February the new Cold War section will be open. A real treat of a model show.  There will again be full-size participation from the RAF. Arrangements are not yet finalised, but you can sure we will have something special to show (with the usual conditions of serviceability and weather conditions).

Much Marcle 6-7th September
