For further info please email lmfcsec@tiscali.co.uk or website www.lmfc.co.uk

The club was established 12 years ago and is affiliated to the B.M.F.A. The clubs formation was to accommodate all types and sizes of models from the humblest trainer to large (but well silenced) petrol engined aircraft. There is a strong and growing electric glider section who make good use of the all round "slope lift" and the frequent procession of thermals. These excellent gliding conditions are also enjoyed mid-week, and at weekends, by a keen group of aero towing enthusiasts. All these disciplines fly harmoniously together and, because the site is available 7 days a week, it is never crowded and there is seldom any wait for a "peg".

The club is based at the eastern end of a de-activated WW2 airfield, near the Somerset village of Westonzoyland, on the A372 Bridgwater to Langport road. The club's main interest is R/C powered fixed wing aircraft, mainly sport, aerobatic, scale, stand-off scale & vintage models. Other interests include ducted fan & GT jets, helicopters, electric powered models and sailplanes.

The club is a BMFA (British Model Flying Association) affiliated model aircraft club and was formed in 1947. Monthly club night meetings with a theme or activity are held on the second Wednesday of the month at the "Bristol Civil Service Sports and Social club" in the Horfield area of Bristol, England. Flying meetings take place all year round locally and in competition events around the UK . We have over 40 members who "fly for fun" or compete in Free Flight, Control Line and Indoor model aircraft disciplines, all in a friendly atmosphere.

The Warminster Radio Control Flying Club (WDRCFC for short) is lucky to have Keevil airfield as it's flying patch. They share space with the gliderclub that also operates from the field. Tuition for new members is organised on an informal basis. The more senior members enjoy all week flying, except when the RAF come out to play with their Hercs and Apaches, at which time they are required to stay on the ground. They also have a very active heli-section, with their own dedicated flying area.

The Weston Model Flying Club is a small friendly club for radio-control model flying, mainly of sport models and helicopters. They are located just North-East of Weston-Super-Mare.

White Sheet Radio Flying Club operates from White Sheet Down, a slope soaring site near the small town of Mere on the A303 in West Wiltshire, England. Members of the club enjoy constructing and flying “Silent Flight” model aircraft, more generally known as gliders. We have a broad range of interest from thermal soaring, scale replicas as well as hosting BMFA F3F League events and the English Open F3F competitions. All skill levels are accommodated no matter what your interest, as long as it involves flying a glider off a slope we think White Sheet RFC will cater for you.
