Maiden Newton model flying
MAIDEN NEWTON: Model flying
Operated by: Eagles Flying Association
Location: Just W of the A37, roughly 1nm NE of Maiden Newton and 7nm NW of Dorchester town centre
Period of operation: From this site since c.2005
Note: The EFA was formed in 1994.
The four aerial views were obtained from Google Earth ©
The local area and area views are from my Google Earth © derived database. Please note that a great many of the locations listed in this 'Guide' are not pinned on the database.
NOTES: We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide', to thank for pointing out this location. Right from the start of this project it has been important to list as many model flying sites as possible. The main reason being that without models it is doubtful that the era of fixed-wing aircraft would have emerged as early as it did - in the early 19th century. Thanks to Sir George Cayley.
Needless to say, models are still at the forefront of aviation technology, and not just for use in wind-tunnels. Indeed, as far as I can make out, some of the amateur model makers today are really pushing the boundaries of miniature technology in aviation through various ways, not least cameras.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
