After a period of a decline in numbers, The Royal Air Force Model Aircraft Association is growing, and its well-attended spring showcase reflected the new ebullient mood. Due to other commitments for Flying Scale Models next day at The Indoor Scale Nationals, I could only attend RAFMAA Warbirds on the Saturday - but what a day! A full day's scale warbirding, in bright sunshine, and light winds! There is no event on the scale calendar like RAFMAA. First of all you have to be invited. Then you and your vehicle have to be booked in. You must also to take your passport as proof of identity. Once you get to the chosen Station - this year it was RAF Wittering - you have to be admitted by armed Guards. Once inside, you camp within the strictly fenced perimeter. All very reassuring. Next morning, the Briefing is as crisp and informative as you might expect, and the organisation of the flight line is second to none. Flying began briskly and continued all day. Please accept my apologies if one or two model details are a bit basic.
