The North Down Model Railway Club's annual exhibition this year was held at Bangor Grammer School over the week end of the 12/13th April.

This was the first time the event was held at the new venue and resulted in record crowd attendences over the two days.

In addition to the many wonderful displays of model trains and track layouts, the Belfast Model Flying Club provided support with a static display of radio controlled aeroplanes and were on hand to give information and advice to those interested in getting involved in the sport.

Barry and George from the North Down Model Aircraft Club assisted Maurice Doyle (BMFC) at his stand and were on hand to answer visitors' questions on the subject of model aircraft flying.

A big attraction was the 'ReaL Flight Flying Simulator' which Maurice used to competently demonstrate how to fly and land a model aeroplane.  (Not bad for a pilot who normally has strings attached to his model!)

George watches as Maurice completes a perfect landing.

It was reported that this year's event was the most successful to-date.
