For overseas viewers and those not familiar with the event
it is the British Model Flying Associations Free Flight Nationals.
Held on the airfield at Barkston Heath, Grantham, England, UK.
The event is held on the Bank Holiday weekend in May Giving
three days of skill and nostalgia, delightful. The video is on a walk
around basis, starting with the competitive events , rubber,
power,and tow line , then moving on to the Aeromodeler Plans Scale
and on to the Bowden Trophy. This being one of my favourite events.
This year though it seems to have been run to a different schedule?.

Old guys keeping their childhood alive, just like me, and why not. Very nice video.

I still have fond memories of my first free-flight aircraft from my childhood - a Jetex-powered Sabre jet. Now I'm in my 70's, and dabbling with capacitor powered electric engine planes - and, to keep up with technology; a drone to film them in flight! Nice video - thanks!

I loved how you showed all the planes fly for about 2 seconds. Great video. Show more videos of planes not flying.

こんにちは。ラジオコントロールではないので飛行機の一機一機に意思があるように見えます。おとなしそうな性格の飛行機やじゃじゃ馬のような飛行機、皆さんが楽しそうですね。音楽ものどかです。楽しい画像をありがとう。

Do your rules favor flying "sport" models? Guess I'm used to F1c type airplanes for competition.

What's the aircraft at 8:50?

[@gertnood]

What's the yellow/white cabin model at 10:54? I thought it was a Vic Smeed design at first but I can't find any evidence that it is.

[@gertnood]

I looked through the entire list of free flight plans on Outerzone UK, and didn't see this model.

My late father was building a KK Ladybird, I've watched a few of these videos of meetings but I've never seen anyone flying freeflight or R/C Ladybird, can anybody with their more experienced minds tell why this is ,was the Ladybird not a good plane.
