![]() Moderator 11232 forum posts 1777 photos 624 articles | Hi folks. 2020 marks RCM&E's 60th Anniversary (the May issue to be precise) and I thought it would be nice to mark the occasion with another fly-in at BMFA Buckminster. The date will be 12th & 13th September, roughly the same weekend as last year's enjoyable event. The format will be the same - off the peg flying for all model types (turbines to be advised nearer the time) although it would be nice to see some of the classic model designs that have appeared in the pages over the years. It's an opportunity for the Mini Jet Mass Builders to get together too. All the usual Buckminster facilities will be there, camping etc. so please call the centre to book.
That's about it for now but mark your calendars and we'll see you there.

Why the same weekend as goodwood revival! Sadly, any date chosen would have clashed with something or other, finding a free weekend in Buckminster’s full schedule was the priority.

108 forum posts 2 photos | The scary thing regarding 60 years of RCM&E for me is that I bought the first issue (which I still have), mind you I was a schoolboy at the time. |

102 forum posts 22 photos | Alan, see it just the other way: you have lived to see these full 60 years of RCM&E! And I wish you to see new issues for many years more. |

![]() 52 forum posts 11 photos | Oh no, thats my last hope of getting to a show dashed. Had four planned weekends away- LMA Cosford, Wings&Wheels, BMFA Nats and this RCM&E fly-in. All cancelled due to this damn virus. I want it to go away now. Cant we just delete the rest of 2020 and start again in 2021? 😕☹️ |
