Retford Model Flying Club (RMFC) was founded in the mid-sixties with a small group of model flying enthusiasts operating then from the old Gamston airfield near Retford. Ten flyers were regularly meeting at the site with no formality or membership fees: just a group enjoying their sport of model flying. A couple of years later RMFC was officially formed and continued to fly at Gamston with the goodwill of the landowner and airfield operator.
Sixty years after its formation, and with a few flying sites in between, RMFC now operates from a club-owned, four-and-a-half acre level site, half a mile to the east of the village of North Leverton with Habblesthorpe, Nottinghamshire (see Location page).
We’re a friendly club of more than sixty members made up of pilots of all skill levels, ranging from beginners to high-class competition and show pilots; and we all share one quality – the desire to help each other, and especially help new flyers.
All ages and levels of flying ability are welcomed at the club.
