Welcome to the Hanworth Airpark Model Flying website. We fly on public land at Hanworth Park with permission from Hounslow council. The club has been in existence for more than 50 years

The Hanworth Airpark Model Flying Club, (hamfc.bmfa.club ) has been affiliated to the British Model Flying Association (BMFA) since 1970 and model flying occurred on the site for many years before that. Indeed, it was a full size aerodrome since the early part of WWI, where repairs were made on SE5a aircraft and the like. Between the wars it was a civil airport with a flying club attached. It was again pressed into service during WWII for the maintenance and repair of Spitfires and Hurricanes. It returned to civil use after the war until Heathrow was built when it was closed, along with Heston airport.

Hanworth Airpark is a public field; it would be foolhardy to fly models without third-party insurance. We obtain third party insurance through the BMFA for you, and having it is a requirement of club membership, however there is no problem if you want to insure with them directly ( www.bmfa.org ) proof of membership is required by HAMFC.

The flying times for IC (i.e. glow, petrol or diesel powered) aircraft are limited by the bylaws as follows:-

10:00 hrs to 13:00 hrs daily. 16:00 hrs to 18:30 hrs on Tuesdays and Thursdays only from April 1^st - September 30^th. Weekend flying is extended to 13:30 hrs from October 1^st - April 30^th. There are no time restrictions for electric/silent flight but no flying is normally allowed when there is a published event at the field, such as a fun-fair, rugby match or car-boot sale, though they do not occur that often. Club flying times are printed on the reverse of your membership card as a memory aid. All flying must take place in the designated area.

IC free-flight is not permitted at any time due to the proximity of the public.
