History of the club
The West London Model Aeroplane Club was formerly the West Drayton MAC. It was founded 1969 by Terry Melloney, who was at one time British Scale Champion and also World Scale Champion. The membership was about 18 when Lloyd Ressler became Chairman.
The West Drayton field was located in what is now the Stockley Park Estate. The present field was offered to the club when the owners of the West Drayton site decided to build the Business Park on the land. The club has developed what was a land fill site into an ideal Model Flying Airfield. Upon the change of flying site, the Club's name was changed to West London MAC, monthly meetings were started and a monthly newsletter was introduced.
In 2011 the club installed a dedicated astroturf runway - possibly the only one in the UK - at the Harefield site. This has proved a great success giving us a semi-hard runway with good drainage usable all the year round.
In 2020 the club was offered the use of an additional field ("Pickeridge Farm"), near Stoke Poges, by our previous landlord. We were granted temporary planning permission in 2022, and then permanent planning permission in 2024.
