The attempt will take place on the 14th May 2023 at 12 noon
On the 15th May 2022 BMFA members across the UK came together at 12 noon to collectively attempt to set a new record for the greatest number of model aircraft of all types in the air at one time at BMFA affiliated clubs around the UK. The attempt was one of a number of events celebrating the BMFA / SMAE Centenary. We achieved a new BMFA National absolute record of 3109 model aircraft and drones in the air at 263 flying sites across the UK.
By popular demand we are now pleased to launch the 2023 record attempt where we hope to smash both the number or aircraft in the air but also the number of flying site locations.
Participants must hold current BMFA, British Drone Flyers or BMFA Youth Group membership or Scottish Aeromodellers Association membership.
The record will be set using model aircraft and drones of all types and be a mass participation event at BMFA and SAA clubs and other flying sites throughout the UK. The attempt will take place on the 14th May 2023 at 12 noon. The record will be for the total number of aircraft in the air at 12 noon on the 14th May 2023 simultaneously across the UK
Members taking part in the attempt at their own club site should ensure they have registered with the Record Attempt Co-ordinator for their club. Please print out the form below or use one from the cabin.
