OPERATOR ID
All members should have received an OPERATOR ID from the CAA
By now all club members should have received their Operator ID. If you have not received it yet please let the club treasure know.
If you have it, you should put it on each of your models. (Although rendered irrelevant for the time being due to Covid 19 Virus restrictions.)
There has been a problem getting the Operator ID sent to each member. For an explanation, please see what the BMFA published 23 Feb.
https://bmfa.org/News/News-Page/ArticleID/2642/Update-CAA-Operator-I-D-numbers
If you do not have it yet, please be aware, that there is an exemption to requiring display of the ID on each model until 23 Jun 20. (should we be allowed to resume our hobby before then.)
