Some people moan about not seeing Popham from a distance (look for the big wood!) so we decided to have a large 'x' on it - then we found it was cheaper to have a white DC3 parked there - same effect - you can now see Popham from miles away.

BUT - Something BIG is happening though - tomorrow (Thurs 15th) we are having the annual STARLIGHT DAY - basically taking kids for short flights all afternoon - the kids in question are the ones undergoing cancer treatment, long term illnesses, that sort of thing .They come along with their siblings on what some call a 'Wish Day' and we all have a great time - plenty to entertain them on the ground, plus as many short flights as they can cope with- all sorts of things going on - including many aircraft movements, parachute jumps, etc etc.
So message is - expect the 5 mile radius around Popham to be rather active!
