Gateshead
Model Flying Club was reformed in the early 1970’s, having originally
been a control line and free flight club dating back to the early 50's.
Initially members flew from the Team Valley Trading Estate before
Retail World was conceived. We are a friendly and informal club of
about 50 members ranging from teenagers to octogenarians. We primarily
fly IC powered aircraft but many members now fly electric planes. Control Line, helicopter and
gas turbine powered aircraft are not permitted. |
Gateshead Model Flying Club is affiliated to the British Model Flying
Association (BMFA) through whom our comprehensive 3rd party
insurance is arranged. |

In May 2009 G.M.F.C. was successful in gaining grant awards from The Community Foundation and Grass Roots totalling £1,774. The money has been used to purchase a range of model aeroplane equipment to enable us to promote the sport of model flying providing training opportunities for existing and prospective members. The money will also enable the Club to purchase an electric fence system, laptop and flight simulator. |
