20.1 BMFA News
From 2023, the BMFA News will be published four times a year and is delivered direct to every full BMFA member’s door. It has the highest circulation of any UK model flying publication and carries articles and photos of general interest, plus news of BMFA activities.
It is also used to inform you of any relevant changes to legislation, regulations and the Achievement Scheme but includes many other areas of interest in addition to the official announcements that it contains. It will be to your advantage to read each issue carefully.
