Antonov An-2 at Popham.
Had a quick look round Popham the other day and was wondering what the An-2 was doing there. Anyone got any info about it?

It lives there. It's owned by a large group of PPL/CPLs. A couple of times a year they make it available to PPLs to fly for a fee. They fill it up with about 12 people and everyone gets about 10 mins or so (something like that).
A call to Popham during most weekdays will get you Chris on the phone/radio. He's a member of the An-2 group and can probably tell you everything you want to know (and a few things you probably didn't!)

Thanks, I love the look of An-2s, I first saw one when I was ten years old in a museum in Germany and was delighted to see one at Popham.

It is also used for blowing large amounts of grass cuttings round the airfield and grit blasting other (smaller) aircraft. And that's only when they are taxying......
Was it this one?
