As well as a long weekend, the first weekend of May hosts two cracking events at Tin Can Bay….and remember we have another long weekend for the Gympie Show, on May 18.

You’ll find some amazing flying machines and their owners at the annual Warbirds event at Tin Can Bay like Paul Gordon-Brander and his Mitchell bomber

Warbirds is back

Keep May 5 and 6 free to bring your family out to the Tin Can Bay Model Flying Club’s annual Warbirds event, a premier event on the Warbirds calendar.

The weekend will feature model planes that have been in an Air Force, anywhere in the world, at any time. World War Two is the most common era, featuring well-known aircraft such as the Spitfire, Mustang, Hellcat and Thunderbolt.

Generally, the size of the planes has increased over the years and models with a wingspan over two metres are popular.

Visiting pilots will come from as far afield as Brisbane, Gold Coast, Toowoomba and Sunshine Coast, as well as north to Gladstone to attend the event.

The public is welcome both days and will be catered for with a full canteen, featuring the club’s very popular hamburgers, hot chips and drinks.

Admission is by gold coin donation.

Contact Neil Low on 0417 072 878 for further information.
