The first scale model event in Denmark was on the 1st of January 1910. Students at “Det Danske Selskabs Skole” (Danish Society’s School) had been making models since the 20th of December, the year before – a total of 10 days. There were models of all the known aircraft of the time, incuding Wright, Bleriot, Latham, Antoinette and Santos Dumont. And the models DID fly. The first prize was won by Bent Rom, one of the volunteers at the Kløvermarken Aerodrome.
