The NMAC is one of the oldest model aero clubs in the country.
When in 1946 Howard Boys competed in Lyon, he was accompanied
by Bryon Dun, still an active member of the Club.

Merv Heycroft's magnificent eight foot wingspan Falcon. This model was driven by one of the first four stroke model engines, the OS 0.60 cu in. No rocker covers, valves all exposed!
A collection of old timers, most of whom are still flying!
The Model shop opened in Northampton by Mr Ted Evans in 1937 is now run by his son, Nicky Evans.
