Welcome to the Thames Valley Scale Aero-Tow..

Scale aero-tow meetings are organized jointly by a few friends for the sheer enjoyment of flying radio controlled scale model gliders. There is no chairman or committee and no membership fees. All we ask is that you come along and share in the fun!

Events are held regularly throughout the season at Siege Cross Farm.

The schedule for the 2012 season is as follows:

 - 15 April
 - 16 & 17 June (See NOTE)
 - 8 July
 - 19 August
 - 30 September
 - 14 October

The airfield is located just off the A4, on the outskirts of Thatcham in Berkshire. The site is maintained by the resident landowner as a private airfield for a small collection of light aircraft. We have access to the extensive grass runway which is maintained to a very high standard throughout the year. The small town of Thatcham is under two miles from the flying field and offers a choice facilities including accommodation and restaurants etc.

OS Grid Reference for the airfield is: SU 533 675
The UK Postal Code is: RG18 4NB

While there will be limited overnight parking available on the air-field for an additional £5.00 per car, please be aware that there are no dedicated camping or toilet facilities available.
