We regularly organise events such as Fun Fly competitions (including inter-club), trips to see the origins of flight alongside small shows, BBQ’s and club nights. Our members enjoy getting involved with the local community and we actively invite people to the hobby from organised groups such as the Air Cadets & Scouts.
Want to know more? Take a look at the learning to fly section of our website for lots of useful information and tips for getting started. Model aviation is an immensly rewarding hobby with multiple aspects that includes engineering. Croydon Airport Model Flying Club has several fixed wing instructors, an established team to help you into the air and a flying site that can provide those extra challenges when you progress.

100 Years of Model Flying
World Record Attempt and BBQ
What a great day had by all as many CAMFC members gathered and celebrated by joining in the country-wide BMFA Centenary Record attempt. In total 10 pilots gathered to take part in the event along with friends and family.
Congratulations to those who braved the weather to take part. After the attempt, we enjoyed a lovely BBQ and a little bit of flying too.
