The gremlins were clearly lying in wait for those of us intending to go there today.
Arrived at Popham, thought - tailwheel needs some air. Get the little portable compressor out of the car - compressor fails to do the trick. Never mind. borrow Alan's footpump. That fails too. Realisation gradually dawns in what passes for my brain that there is nothing wrong with compressor or pump. There's just a hole in the tube.
Wheel off and up to Doug's to wrestle its two halves apart, fit new tube, refit wheel to a/c, then off to Compton Abbas.
Good job really, otherwise there would have been no-one to eat your tea and flapjacks and they would have gone to waste.
Jolly nice they were too.
