The British Model Flying Association
National Championships 25 - 27 August 2018

The British Model Flying Association will once again be holding its annual National Championships and Model Aircraft Airshow at Royal Air Force Barkston Heath, 5 miles North East of Grantham, on the August Bank Holiday weekend, 25-27 August 2018.

Model flying is the U.K.’s most popular air sport and the BMFA has 35,000 members and over 830 clubs throughout the U.K.

The event is the largest of its kind in Europe (with around 400 competitors) and it offers an interesting and fun day out for the whole family. The main days for spectators are Saturday and Sunday. The whole cross section of model aircraft are displayed by highly skilled pilots, many of whom are world class. Aircraft flown at the event include large jets, military fighters and bombers from both world wars, together with civil light aircraft and this year there will be a number of displays themed to celebrate the RAF100 celebrations. In addition, the thrills and spills of air racing, both radio control (this year battling to win the Royal Aero Club Queen’s Cup) and control line are demonstrated, as are precision aeroplane and helicopter aerobatics.

The event enjoys full trade support with over 70 stalls selling a range of aeromodelling items along with a selection of craft stalls. There will also be an extensive modellers’ swapmeet on Sunday morning for those wanting to grab a bargain. There will be a range of refreshment and bar facilities on site serving from early morning until late into the evening and camping facilities (including hot showers) are also available.

Day gate entrance is £10-00 for adults with FREE admission for those under 18, making it a great value family day out. For further details please contact the BMFA Office on 0116 2440028 or visit www.bmfa.org or www.bmfa-nats.org ... See MoreSee Less
