Site

p1050108-2Facilities

The flying site is located near the village of Nash, just off the Bletchley to Buckingham road (A421). Contact our Club Secretary [email protected] for precise details. An off-road parking area is provided near the flying field’s access gate which is approximately 220 yards from the take-off strip.

Both the pits area and the take-off strip are surrounded by an electric fence, which has proved most successful in preventing damage from sheep and cattle which occasionally share the 25 acre field. There are some seven pit tables which allow models to be prepared at a convenient height without kneeling on the ground. Model restraints are provided too.

A substantial wooden shed not only provides protection from the elements when necessary but also contains a heavy duty 12v battery connected to a solar cell powered battery charger which keeps the electric fence operating.

The take-off strip itself is maintained in good order. The grass is mown on a weekly basis throughout the summer by members on a rota basis: the Club has ride-on mowers keptĀ in a secure steel container on-site, plus a petrol hand mower and strimmer for the smaller areas.
