Just a reminder to UK flyers that the Microlight Fair takes place this
weekend at Popham Airfield (EGHP).
Once again the Europa Club will be manning a stand and we would extend a
warm welcome to all Europa flyers. Feel free to use the stand as a
meeting place and admire Terry Clark's newly completed and very pretty
Hi-Top XS.
Over the Saturday and Sunday we will be offering complimentary
tea/coffee and burgers to all Club members, but will not let non-members
go hungry (for a contribution to the tip jar!).
The weather does not look too bad for a change. Popham Procedures below
to save you looking them up.

Hope to see as many of you as possible.

Nigel,
After reading the Popham Procedures (charming!) and having a peek via Google Earth, I'm tempted to put a visit on my schedule for next year if the event attracts a goodly number of UK Europas.
The current Google Earth photo shows many aircraft on tie-downs...is this an indication of the number of planes based at Popham, or was the photo taken during an event?

Hi Fred,
I too thought those "procedures" were rather gracelessly worded. It’s a curious way of welcoming visitors, and totally out of character with an airfield that enjoys a friendly atmosphere and hosts numerous well-attended events each year. I think it was strongly worded to make an impression on the flex-wing boys that have a bit of a reputation for joining in the style of Dick Turpin, and leaving with the enthusiasm of a bunch of five-year-olds at going-home time!
With regards to that Google Earthe picture, I've just looked at it and can confirm that those aircraft numbers represent the residents (including the Antanov AN2). On a fly-in day, that number can over double with aircraft parking down both sides of 03/21.
The Europa Club AGM a couple of years back boasted about 34 Europas (someone will correct me if that is wrong) in a line It looked impressive from the air.

Over 40!
In the Google Earth picture I have just looked at there are only 2 Europas on the ground so it must be a few years old.
There are currently 5 Europas based there (including mine).

Not wishing necessarily to defend the "flex-wing boys", but I've been cut up by a Cub (cutting under and in front on final; he ".....didn't see me") at one of those events. So Europas are too slow for cubs?
Otherwise a place to be avoided during these events!
