Vintage Cessna Fly In Popham Sunday 15th May 2022

[davidallum]

Looked on Popham's web cam before heading off and noticed that two aircraft were already parked up and had their covers on so obviously had night stopped so off I went.On arrival it was quite breezy but the cloud was high but the weather got worse as the morning went on until the heavens opened.I know the weather was bad in many parts of the country but it does seem to be a recurring theme with events @ Popham,however this is what I logged from approx 09.30 until 12.50:

G-AJJS Cessna 120 (had night stopped)
G-HAPZ Pipistrel Alpha (had night stopped)
N75822 Cessna 172N
G-JOYZ PA-28 Cherokee 181
G-ATMC Cessna F150F
G-SMRS Cessna 172F
G-CLAC PA-28 Cherokee 161
G-RIVT Vans RV6
G-PLPM Europa XS
G-AXDI Cessna F172H
G-LANE Cessna F172N
G-ATEF Cessna 150E

Two aircraft flew through the overhead:

Daedalus Aviation & Heritage Group set up this Fly In and we had 50 plus hopeful attendees. As you say weather did its best to ruin. We are very hopeful of having a rerun at some stage, several of the arriving crews are asking for this to become a regular Fly In. G-AJJS from/to Temple Bruer via Goodwood, N75822 f/t Great Oakley but still Dunkeswell based, JOYZ from Fairoaks, ATMC f/t Solent, SMRS f/t Andrewsfield, AXDI f/t Rochester, LANE f/t North Weald, ATEF f Blackbushe then to WAM, forgotten where RIVT was f/t. HAPZ/PLPM/CLAC based.
