On Sunday 18th May 2025 the Basingstoke Model Aero Club hosted the Southern Area Achievement Scheme testing day.

The club had been approached by David Durnford and Terry Weeks of the BMFA Southern Area committee, to host the event and the BMAC committee happily accepted this opportunity to support the BMFA-SA and moreover, to support our hobby in this way.

Out of a discussion around fresh photos for our club website, the question arose; how best to get new pictures.  We could just ask the members to send us new photos or even go out ourselves and taken some, but where’s the fun in that.

Instead, it was turned into a competition that would let the photographers in the club showcase their talents.

Our annual Electric Fly-In has taken place every year for the best part of 20 years and is the biggest event each year in our club's calendar. This year's event attracted a large number of flyers and spectators including many guests from other clubs.

The Electric day is generally our biggest event of the year and this time we attracted around 50 flyers, 18 of whom were guests from local clubs.  In all about 70 people attended during the day. 

The BMAC Electric Fly-in took place on Sunday 11^th September 2022.  The weather forecast was marginal: dry and warm but with a SW wind, 6-10 mph. However, as morning dawned it was irrelevant as we were presented with a dense mist!
