Just one of interest outside WAM:

Just one passing through the zone:

G-LAPL Scheibe SF.25C Falke

For info there were 58 airborne visitors last night,last month's fly in had 44 visitors,do hope that this becomes a regular occurrence during the summer month's,although I think my waistline will start complaining.

Great tun out, was this for Popham members only?

[davidallum]

Hi Chris,it was open for anyone who has a passing interest in aviation ie pilots,Popham staff,enthusiasts etc,etc,we hope that there will be one next month as well,the airfield manager has stated that he would like to organise one for the summer months ie May/June/July and August.

At the June one I made 6 and last night I made 4 plus one flying through the zone.

Thanks David, I will give the next one a go if it happens. Perhaps a good alternative to the Sunday fly-in's which have reduced during the covid period.

Just seen on Popham's website that the next evening fly in/BBQ is scheduled for Thursday 19th August 2021.
