Welcome to the home of the North Kent Nomads Model Club.

The Club is affiliated to the BMFA No 2139 South East.

Located in Dartford Kent we have one of the most desirable model flying sites in the county as a club we have been established since the 1930's. Initially the club was mainly 'fixed wing' but we are now proud to say we are 'multi disciplined' catering for Power, Glider, Electric and Helicopters.

The longevity of the club can be attributed to the membership contributing towards its rules and constitution through the guidance of its annually elected officers and committee. A more comprehensive history can be found on our History page.

Our membership numbers allow for up to 130 flyers which also includes spaces for Junior members under the age of 18. We also have Associate Members which allow parents or guardians of Junior Members to participate in the clubs activities or for those that just wish to join in a non-flying capacity. Our fee structure is set annually at the Annual General Meeting in November.

The club welcomes membership applications from both new and experienced pilots, and we aim to help all new members wherever possible.

New members will serve an initial probationary period of 6 months, after which they will be eligible to serve on the Committee.

We have a strong safety ethos, and new members must receive approval from a committee member, or by a club member approved by the committee, to fly solo. This helps us to ensure that all pilots are fully conversant with club safety & flying rules.

All new members are expected to either have attained a valid BMFA 'A' certificate or commenced training with one of the clubs instructors or examiners to gain a BMFA 'A' certificate within 12 months of joining the club.

Existing members are actively encouraged to pursue a minimum of a BMFA ‘A’ certificate.

The club has its own BMFA registered Examiners in both fixed and rotary wing.

As of the adoption of our 2025 Constitution and Rules, pilots of turbine model must hold the relevant BMFA B Certificate before being allowed to fly solo at the field.
