British Waterplane Association

The British Waterplane Association is a group dedicated to the promotion and practice of flying radio controlled model aeroplanes from water. We welcome new members and are available to advise anyone interested in taking up this aspect of r/c flying. Join us here.

This site allows members and guests to find out where meetings and events are occurring across the UK, see photos and videos of past events, obtain details of BWA membership and contact the BWA for information.

The BWA is affiliated to the BMFA and uses the LMA facilities at Billing Aquadrome

Dates for 3 weekend events in 2026 at Colwick Park announced here. This year we are celebrating 30 years of waterplane flying at Colwick Park. See here for some nostalgia.
