Went up to Hobbies in the Hills today to see if I could resist buying a model or two (finally successful with that) ... and had a chat to Seen who was working there. He suggested a trip to the Vineyard airfield this weekend, which is one of the two locations that the Hawkesbury Club have access to. This used to be the home field of SRCS before they were asked to move along by the road-freighting company that owned the field. Seen told us that they have 7-day a week access and no noise restrictions there at all - might be worth a visit.
Here's a map ...
... so you drive westward along Old Windsor Road, until you take a left at Bandon Road, follow it up past the Vinyard railway station, over the level crossing, down the hill heading south-west on a dirt road until you run out of road completely. At that point, there's a gate on your left with a sign and a 'phone number you can call so that someone can drive back and open up. You can see the flying area at the bottom left of the map in the rounded-rectangle.
Thinking about going out there tomorrow - if anyone else is interested then please post here. We can get out there and show 'em our club polo shirts
