THE latest high-tech model aircraft will take to the skies this weekend.

The Great Yorkshire Showground is the venue for the annual Christmas Model Aircraft Show.

Staged in the Wharfe and Aire Suites at the Pavilion complex, every conceivable extra will be available for the model aircraft enthusiast.

There will also be displays of model jet engines, which look and sound exactly like the real thing.

Open from 10am until 4pm tomorrow and Sunday, opportunities will exist to catch both indoor and outdoor demonstrations of large radio controlled aircraft.

Refreshments and a bar will be available. Entrance is £5 for adults and £4 for children and OAPs.
