FBS, thank you for your post.
Very crisp, and gets the thread back on track.
I have visited Popham a few times, never from the air, but for cups of tea etc. whilst trailers were being attended to by a local firm. I have always been impressed by the field, and imho you/it deserve the high reputation.
I would be interested to know, though, was he, as far as you know, actually trying to get into Popham when the accident happened?
