Spreading the word – Driffield Manor…

A while ago, Driffield Manor contacted us to see if we could go chat to them about our models. We wanted to make it more interesting than a purely static display, so we've been trying to meet up on a calm evening. After a few delays, that finally happened! Mark and Gary took a selection of models for static display, as well as two models we could fly in their restricted grounds...... Driffield manor have posted a nice story on Facebook here (https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1HFQvjjAoa/) We'd like them to come and see us at the field but the lack of amenities will make this challenging! Howere, indoor flying has facilities, so watch this space!

NOTAM Renewal…

Our NOTAM has been renewed until mid September. This allows models between 7.5KG and 24.99KG to exceed the 400ft altitude limit - max 1600 feet above sea level (our field is about 170 feet above sea level), to a radius of 1 nautical mile from the pits, sunrise to sunset. Under Article 16, models under 7.5kg are not height restricted. When I get calls about light aircraft or the RAF encroaching, or coming close, I will continue to post on WhatsApp. Cheers, Mark https://whmfc.bmfa.club/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/AR-2026-5215-NOTAM-Back-Copy-H3342.pdf
