Bank Holiday sunshine ensured a 'model' day out for all the family at Wales' largest theme park last Bank Holiday weekend.
For the first time ever, Oakwood Park hosted its very own Model Show featuring planes, trains, boats and cranes from all over Pembrokeshire. For three days, visitors to Oakwood Park were not only be able to ride the world's No. 1 wooden rollercoaster Megafobia, but they could also sit back and enjoy a whole host of model displays.
Said Oakwood's senior marketing officer Simon Morris: "It was a chance to enjoy the best of two world's - world-class white-knuckle and family theme park rides plus a little bit of miniature model mania! "
Exhibitors at the Model Show included members of the Pembrokeshire Model Club, the Haverfordwest Model Flying Club and the Pembrokeshire Model Engineers Society, as well as individual exhibitors displaying model cranes, fire engines, submarines and commercial and amphibious vehicles.
Radio-controlled car racing took place alongside Oakwood's boating lake where a variety of model boats, submarines and amphibious vehicles were in action. There was also a large static display of model aircraft and moving and static railway displays as well as a sit-on train ride outside The Wacky Factory.
In the Mississippi Showboat in New Orleans, there were displays of moving cranes given by Howard Harrison, of Neyland, fire engines by Eddie Goring, of Milford Haven, and commercial vehicles by Ron Weatherall, of Johnston, and keen modellers were able to pick up some tips at a model aeroplane building demonstration given by Eddie Stocker, of D. B. Sport & Scale.
