Model Aircraft Wings Club?

There are plenty of adverts for the Golden Wings Aeromodellers Club of which I was a member but nothing of the Model Aircraft Wings Club.
Apparently it was a club in the 1950's but I cannot find any references to it in any of my old Aeromodeller mags which go back to the 30s and 40s.
Has anyone here got any knowledge of it?

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

I don't and never have, read Aeromodeller on a regular basis, as it focuses mostly on tiny free-flight stuff. The tailplane on some of my models is bigger than the wing on some of those!
I used to read Silent Flight, which became Quiet and Electric Flight, until it folded. The same applied to Radio Modeller. I used to read RCM+E, until I posted a comment that the then editor took an instant dislike to, and banned me. (The same reason applies to many of the original members of this group - which began when two - now deceased - members decided to develop a way of privately chatting to each other without paying huge telephone bills!)

It is an original membership package with waterslide transfers as well. It doesn't seem to include the lapel badge but I already have one that is pristine. In fact it was that that sent me on this mission.

My now deceased elder brother builr one in 1960. I duly inherited it and converterd it to 3 channel RC in 1970.
Removed the polyhedral, built a new fuselage with an all moving tail plane.
Ridge soared it a couple of times.
Much later (2019) addded electric power.
Probably not too wise a move as the wing was by then over 60 years old.
Flew OK a couple of times under power but a slight over correction with the all moving tail plane over loaded the wing!
RIP!
It appears the Model Aircraft magazine was taken over in the 1970s by a publishing company and duly reappeared in a slightly different format with a new name although it was later renamed Model Aircraft. It now appears to be defunct - again.
