I haven't visited since the LAA Rally last year Dave so with several new residents, a call in is warranted I think. G-ORNG appears to be newly registered, and isn't listed on PlaneBase yet

Hi Graham,G-ORNG was registered in January this year so brand new.Popham are holding an open day on April 1st this year (good date) where the staff of Popham are hoping that most of their estimated 150 residents will be put on display.The event is free other than it's a fiver to park the car.

Hi Dave,

April 1st sounds like a must do… Still need a few residents.

Cheers mate.

You are quite right,I got my events programme the wrong way round.

According to PLaneBase I have seen 140 of the 150 residents so a trip out would be beneficial for sure

According to Planebase, I need 116, so I really should make an effort. Do we know if the parking charge can be paid on arrival?

Hi Phil,

From my experience, I’ve only ever paid on arrival.

Hope to see you there.
