Dedicated To Vintage and Classic Model Aircraft

Chapter 1066

S.A.M. 1066 is a club whose members make and fly vintage and classic free flight model aircraft.

Our interests are varied and together we fly most classes including glider, rubber and power.

The organisation was founded and run by David Baker, who with the help of his many supporters provided a very necessary and valued service for the free flight aeromodelling community.

David was responsible for the acquisition of Middle Wallop Army airfield for free flight events ("a master stroke"), and organised one of the best vintage free flight events in Europe, if not the best in the world, the SAM champs. Although in recent years we have seen some changes, Middle Wallop, our ancestral home, remains our principal flying site.

In recent times David's health has led to some re-organisation. We have gone all electronic, using only email and this web site to communicate with the membership, the club has a new constitution and is BMFA affiliated with nearly 400 members from all over the world now on the register.

David Baker has been appointed to the position of Honorary President and will continue supporting the organisation in a way that only he can. 

All of the traditional events are planned for 2008 at Middle Wallop Army Airfield, so there will be plenty of opportunities to get involved.
