Morning chaps,
So the weekend just passed was my annual visit to Hampshire in the hope of the Microlight trade show being productive. This year I managed a welcome 42 new frames at Popham and still left needing a few residents. Below is a brief summary of my expedition. Please note I have taken these straight from log book and sorted into A-Z so types are as per my log and may contain errors.
So 0445L in Deepest darkest Norfolk and my alarm sounded, 15 minutes of snoozing I climbed out of bed at 0500L and woke the Mrs and the small one up and headed down to get ready. By 0615L we had boarded the trusty Astra bound for Popham. I didn't plan on stopping anywhere on the way down except for a bite to eat at McDonald's for the little one to keep her happy.
As always the first place we have to drive beside is Lakenheath, now normally I don't see anything here on a weekend but as we approached I noticed a Large C5 tail sticking up. Couple of quick camera shots fired off as we sped past and I had read it off...

Thankfully some blue sky and having to pass Heathrow allowed a few to enter the log book as we continued on to Popham

And so we arrived at Popham just after 1000L and the place was already busy. I opted to set myself up at the top of a bank overlooking proceedings and logged from here until I needed to make a move.

Then it was over to Lasham to meet up with Dylan and Kevin as I had booked us a private tour of the Gliding Heritage side. Our host met us and then decided to round up another 10 or so spotters to join us, removing the private element of the tour but it got them some good donations for their 2nd hangar.

Still needing the Airlander at Cardington I sent one of my Pilot friends overhead the evening before to check it was still there, a yes was the response so that was the next stop for today...

Onwards again and time to hunt wrecks, I knew of a Spanish PA31 on the routing home so set about finding it.

Quick stop of at the Brother in Laws place in Chatteris for a cuppa and after departing here we could see the Purple Dhc6 still in residence

Normally we would just run straight home from here but I thought I would chance my luck at East Winch in the hope something was present I needed. 3 Outside, 1 being a Swedish PA28! Welcome final find of the trip for me.

So the weekend just passed was my annual visit to Hampshire in the hope of the Microlight trade show being productive. This year I managed a welcome 42 new frames at Popham and still left needing a few residents. Below is a brief summary of my expedition. Please note I have taken these straight from log book and sorted into A-Z so types are as per my log and may contain errors.
So 0445L in Deepest darkest Norfolk and my alarm sounded, 15 minutes of snoozing I climbed out of bed at 0500L and woke the Mrs and the small one up and headed down to get ready. By 0615L we had boarded the trusty Astra bound for Popham. I didn't plan on stopping anywhere on the way down except for a bite to eat at McDonald's for the little one to keep her happy.
As always the first place we have to drive beside is Lakenheath, now normally I don't see anything here on a weekend but as we approached I noticed a Large C5 tail sticking up. Couple of quick camera shots fired off as we sped past and I had read it off...

Thankfully some blue sky and having to pass Heathrow allowed a few to enter the log book as we continued on to Popham

And so we arrived at Popham just after 1000L and the place was already busy. I opted to set myself up at the top of a bank overlooking proceedings and logged from here until I needed to make a move.

Then it was over to Lasham to meet up with Dylan and Kevin as I had booked us a private tour of the Gliding Heritage side. Our host met us and then decided to round up another 10 or so spotters to join us, removing the private element of the tour but it got them some good donations for their 2nd hangar.

Still needing the Airlander at Cardington I sent one of my Pilot friends overhead the evening before to check it was still there, a yes was the response so that was the next stop for today...

Normally we would just run straight home from here but I thought I would chance my luck at East Winch in the hope something was present I needed. 3 Outside, 1 being a Swedish PA28! Welcome final find of the trip for me.
