The BMFA is the National Governing Body for
the sport of model flying. Its aims are to
promote, protect, organise and encourage
model flying within the UK. Typically there are
around 780
affiliated clubs and a combined membership of
over 36,000 members, all of whom have entered
a partnership to ensure that model fliers have a
voice and their rights are recognised by the
authorities.
The mandate for the BMFA to do this comes
from the Royal Aero Club, dating back to 1922,
the Civil Aviation Authority and Sport UK
