Armed Forces veterans are finding friendship, purpose and a shared passion for aviation through a thriving model aircraft club at Newtownards Airfield.

01/06/2026

For the last few weeks, the club has partnered with the Help For Heroes Northern Ireland Community Development Team to offer veterans the chance to build and fly a radio controlled aircraft.

Craig, our club Secretary and one of the Area 13 ACE's, himself a RAF veteran led the activity.

Over 3 evenings, the group were introduced to the basics of rc model construction and supervised in the build of a simple depron model which was then flown.

It was great to watch the group come together and learn the skills needed to build the model whilst also getting a little taste of model flying through a short display and the opportunity to have a few goes on our flight simulator.

Well done to everyone involved.

Craig's MB-339 out for its maiden flight today. FlyFly kit with a 90mm fan on 6s.

Unfortunately it wasn't able to get in to the air due to a lack of thrust 😞

Back to the workshop for some investigation work.

It looks pretty cool though 😎

Great to see them back in the air.
