A word of caution is particulalry relevant on a hot day (+25 deg c.)
when departing Sandown on said runway. I have only done it the once and having noted the lack of full power developing until leaning the mixture slighlty, a friend in the back told me how he had clipped the trees on a previous visit!

Probably a bit far from Popham - if you have just ventured to the Isle of Wight, however, I went to Beauvais recently (Mol's) version of Paris) and was highly impressed with:
Fees for landing & 24 hour parking;
Access to Paris with hire car on tap;
General ease of flight planning and AIS resources;
And NO ATC delays......until having to orbit 4 (FOUR) times on way back into UK airport!!

And Paris Info even spoke to me!!
