A message from BMFA and Chairman John Wright
You may be aware of a recent tragic accident that occurred in Spain. A model flyer was killed instantly when he was hit by a model aircraft while retrieving his own model after landing. From the relatively sparse information currently available it appears this was simply a case of poor communication at the flight line and perhaps something that could easily have been avoided.
Please remember the importance of effective communications at the flight line, announcing intentions and having them acknowledged by others on the flight line which is vital to maintaining our excellent safety record.
