The BMFA have announced that both the Free Flight and the Radio/Control Line Power Nationals at Barkston Heath have both been cancelled again this year. This is a regret to our FF members who have competed and topped events over decades. It is so nice to compete on an airfield with runways on which you can use a bicycle for model recovery instead of yomping over the Newbigging moorland.

The BMFA Technical Committees and Specialist Bodies responsible for organising the various Championship competitions and the drone racing World Cup associated with the Nationals are now looking at alternative arrangements.
