  • On Sunday afternoon there will be a competition for the Exide & Drydex trophy for the best flown electric powered Radio Queen.  This year’s event will commemorate Colonel H J Taplin first official world recorded flight of an RC electric model on the 30th June 1957.  He used his seven year old RC ED Radio Queen prototype.
