A HUGE model plane created by pupils at a Newton Aycliffe school managed to butter up judges enough to win them a national competition.
Youngsters from Byerley Park Primary School were regional winners of the national competition to build an Utterly Butterly biplane. Pupils built a copy of the Utterly Butterly biplane big enough to hold two pupils.
Their efforts were rewarded with the Northern region first prize of £1,000 and a bonus prize of a wing walk for a teacher.
