G-APDK, that weekend in June is when the French Piper Club is coming to Popham for its annual bash. It's in the latest VPAC magazine. Sounds like a clash with your North Weald Cub fly-in....
Lister Noble, you swing from behind and the chocks have a piece of rope attached to them.
hobbit, don't sweat about Lundy. It is not difficult, but if you go out of season you do need to be prepared for sheep on the strip and that, even if they say they will clear them off for you, they often do not. Then you have to buzz them away. Also the windsock probably won't be up, but there is a flag on the church. The Devon Strut fly-in at Lundy is great, with many people staging through Eggesford anyway. Can get up to 70 aircraft in, so it can get a bit hairy keeping track of everyone. Do join the Devon Strut, it's worthwhile.
