Hello David
G-BHDZ did actually land and the Vans that landed in the evening was G-RVII.
Hope this helps

[davidallum]

Cheers Phil,I saw "VII" and just assumed it was OVII,just checked and don't need RVII although very happy with the 7 that I did make.

It was an excellent day. My final count was 110 of which I bagged 17, including the Sokol G-AIXN. I didn't need the Beech 18, if only it had been BKGM then that would have been a different story. Nevertheless it was very nice to see G-BKGL on the ground at Popham.
