Welcome to the Watton Radio Model Club. If you are an existing member we hope that this provides you with all the information you need to stay abreast of current events. However, if you are new to the great sport/hobby of radio control flight we hope you find all the information you need to get off to a great start. Enjoy our site and feel free to leave us comments and/or suggestions. Watton Radio Model Club was formed in 1974 by a small group of modellers who used the airfield at Watton whilst the RAF air station was still operational. The club title reflects the various modelling interests at the time, but in recent years the activity has become concentrated on R/C aircraft. We now have a membership limit of 120. The club is affiliated with the British Model Flying Association which is a non-profit organization made up of flying clubs and individuals who agree to pool resources for the benefit of all. WRMC activities are organized through a committee that is elected annually in November. There are 2 airfields that we use. Our "home" is a site just south of Shipdham (though actually in the parish boundary of Carbrooke). The other is at Carbrooke Fen within 2 miles of the original Watton military site. Regular monthly meetings are held on the last Wednesday of each month (except December), the usual venue being the Carbrooke village hall at 8:00 pm. In June, July, and August (weather permitting) we transfer our meetings to the Carbrooke site for more 'practical' activity. |

Watton airfield, when active, was home to the Meteor. Now that the base is no longer active it still serves as host to a multitude of functions. To learn more about RAF Watton click here. |
