For All Radio Control Aircraft
Westonzoyland Airfield, Near Bridgwater, Somerset, England
Aeromodellers were using the airfield back in 1959. The club was formed in 1968, with the primary objective to provide an excellent flying site for radio control aircraft modellers.
The site is at the eastern end of a de-activated WW2 airfield, near the Somerset village of Westonzoyland, on the A372 Bridgwater to Langport road.
We number around 90 members, of all flying abilities and ages. Our 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.
Members get together for a regular monthly meeting, normally on the first Wednesday of every month at the George Inn, Middlezoy, starting at 7.30 pm during the winter, and after evening flying during BST.
Our tarmac runway flying surface is 50 yards wide, by 1/2 mile long, and in good condition. The flying site is open seven days a week to members. Club sessions are held every Sunday and Wednesday evenings during BST.
We issue a regular newsletter to all members, usually published quarterly. (see "News & Info" page)
We are affiliated to the British Model Flying Association (BMFA). Our yearly subscription
includes the BMFA fee
(unless affiliated through another club). A very good third
party insurance is included with BMFA membership.
Visitors on holiday or temporarily in the area are welcome at our flying site, provided they are current BMFA members. Attendance is by prior arrangement only with our General Secretary. (See Contact Us page)
