I like model aircraft making. I collect 1:72nd aircraft. I have about 60 Post WW2 aircraft, and the odd WW2 aircraft or so on top of my wardrobe waiting to get built.

I will be building a model air museum when I get some room to built it. I can’t wait. 🙂

Please feel free to send a message if you want to know what aircraft are planned for my model air museum.

That’s a neat idea…I build a lot of 1:72 scale model aircraft although I do other scales also (WW2 mostly) although I haven’t thought of anything like that to do with them. Feel free to send me a list. I wish you all the best!!! 🙂

The British Model Flying Association (BMFA) has a number of certificates that you can attain, my club runs a training programme to take you up to BMFA ‘A’ rating, after which you are allowed to go and fly solo at the club. This is taken in 2 parts, an Oral safety test and a flight test involving take offs, landings and figure of 8s operated safely
In order to fly for public display you have to hold a ‘B’ Certificate which is basically a full aerobatic rating.
There are obviously instructor and examiner ratings as well.

Our club strictly adheres to all of these rules, especially as our club President is also President of the BMFA!!

Models larger than 20KG are considered as small aircraft under the ANO, and as such have to have a full inspection regime by the large Model association (LMA) during the build, and have to operate a series of observed flights before they are allowed to fly for public display

Unfortunately, I don’t think I have any clubs near me….last one I know of went under about 10 years ago……..I have not come upon this information before :confused: , as far as I was aware it is not 100% compulsary to have a licence for flying ALONE but is advised that a person should take lessons (I don’t do displays or anything like that so that doesn’t really matter). I would love to join a club and do all this but I cannot travel very far because I don’t drive.

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THERE IS A FLYING CLUB ANYWHERE AROUND LLANDRINDOD WELLS THAT I COULD JOIN OR IS ANYONE STARTING A CLUB HERE or can you give me more information???

If she is hot, I will give up the train itself. 😀

Nice one 😀 😀 😀

Oh………..Go on then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In all though, I do like my job………

I’d love to be there when you get caught out… I’ve just got a sick sense of humour

When I get cought out…….I won’t even be there……I’ll be running like hell down the road!!!!!!!!!!! 😀

Fair Enough………….you ‘bottom cheeky’ boy(s)……………

Until the day you find someone else fluent enough in German or even a German customer… 😀

My job would be better if the people were British

That’s true………..we have had a few apparently but I wasn’t working that night (he gives a sigh of relief!!!!!!!! 😀 )
