Popham 1st June, the list
 

I've just been adding up the list on the other page, and get the following probables (in no particular order): -

Genghis, Raven, from Chilbolton. .SouthXross, R22/R44 from Cranfield EGTC. .arrow2, PA28-180 from EGLK. .Poetpilot, "parasol" from "up North". .NewBloke, ? from Redhill. .Whirlybird, R22 from Halfpenny Green. .longfinal, 4 seater from Blackpool. .internalservererror, Pa28-180 from White Waltham. .Hersham boy, ? from Redhill. .Cusco, 3 seater from E.Anglia. .AerBabe, C152 from Coventry . .Fuji Abound, 2 seater from Shoreham. .Cahliban, ? from Manston. .Warped factor, ? from White Waltham. .LowNslow, 2 seater from near Luton.

Any more for any more?

add...

FNG, Cap 10b G-BXFE, with Pprune Dispatcher as nav, from White Waltham

and not forgetting Flying For Fun, whose idea it was in the first place, I assume in Supercub G-WLAC, from Waltham (that right, FFF?)

I'm in, thanks to SlipSlider <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

[ 03 February 2002: Message edited by: Evo7 ]</p>

I will more than likely pop(ham) down heehee. .Coming in an Alfa 156 (5-seater) <img src="redface.gif" border="0"> )

Must be Friday.....

I'm in - but unlikely to be able to get use of a club aeroplane all day at a weekend, so may have to drive (boo...) unless someone from East Anglia or East Mids area fancies a cost-sharer...

Are retired pilots in cars allowed to come along?

Anyone told Dick at Popham what we are planning? Just in case he needs to buy in more sausages! BTW if I come I will be in a PA28R Arrow 4, not a 180!

A2 :)

Genghis, add me as a probable, Champ'ing from Goodwood, with Evo7 as nav. But .... the Aeronca Club are hosting the US Classics fly-in that weekend at Kemble, so I will be looking for the optimum way to combine the two.. .Slip.

I hope to make it though at this moment it will be by car from EGHI unless I am lucky to have got the licence by then.

add me, either in a C152 or PA28 from Plymouth-seats available if anyone wants to come. . <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

Is this going to be a one-day event, or are we turning it into a weekender? How about a pyjama party, BBQ, and campout? <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Add .. Simjock from Shoreham PA28, possibly in 'loose formation'with Fuji ?

Add Keef, in an Arrow III from EGMC.

Anyone in the area want a lift?

I'll hopefully be in the Chipmunk, may or may not have a spare seat.

WF.

I agree with arrow2. Should we not check with dick first to make sure that it doesn't clash with one of his events. They have one or two microlight fly-ins during the summer. I can't do it as I'll be abroad for the next two weeks.

Airclues

PS I'll be arriving in a Volvo 850 as I've just sold my aircraft (it was Popham based anyway).

Genghis, sorry, strike me off, I'll be in the land of your namesake (Kazakhstan) then. I can do it on the weekend of 11/12 May or 15/16 June. Shame, haven't been to Popham for a while. <img src="frown.gif" border="0">

Cap'n why don't you borrow the boy's Cub? Or won't he let Dad drive :)

If it does get rescheduled due to my begging or Dick being occupied on the 1st I can offer a lift to anybody who needs a lift with 50 or so miles of Luton. It's an Auster, Not a 73 so short runways are not a problem <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Would you prefer to travel by Auster or Volvo Cap'n A?

LowNSlow

Prefer the Auster any day, just stay away from those Cb's <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> . .I'm free 11th/12th May if Dick says no to the 1st June. When are you going to bring your Auster down to WW LowNSlow?

Airclues

Just 'cos I tried to pull a list together, doesn't mean I'm volunteering to be in charge of anything but me and my aeroplane.

Having said that, if nobody's been able to have a word with Dick by then, I can probably drop by there next weekend for a word with him.

I read this Popham visit in the other thread and quietly put Dick on major BBQ alert for June 1st over a week ago. He says you're all very welcome, and of course if you need arrival briefs, just ask.

Also, I've started talking to 'nearby licensed airfields' to see if they will offer any student/instructor combinations any cheap/free deal to stop off before and after Popham to allow logging time for any student taking part to be counted towards the 45. It would be a shame to come any distance on a PPL Navex and not log it. Obviously in the grand scheme of things, getting two extra landings cheap or free will not make a huge difference, but every little helps, and I guess when learning, every extra airfield helps too.

Irv

Looks as if this will be interesting.... .For your list, Genghis -. .White Shadow, from Dunks

Hi All,

I've added the fly-in to my web site (Unsurprisingly it's on the Fly-In menu). You can register or update your details from there (although it's through e-mail - so you have to wait for me to do it manually). Please also take this as an open invitation to stress test my new site.

Here's the link : <a href="http://www.shortfinals.flyer.co.uk" target="_blank">Short Finals</a>

Cheers

-S

Cap'n, I have a new Cb detector fitted to the Auster. I look out with both eyes now :)

Wx permitting I'll be visiting WW late Feb - early March to take you up on the offer of a cuppa. <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Subject to roster, count me in please. PA28 (GATHR) from Luton.

Might be able to squeeze 1 or 2 pax in. If you are local-ish and want a lift, drop me an e-mail. I'll route via somewhere too, especially if its interesting!

Popham - "Rather"

Count me in - tally ho, bags of smoke, over the top - dagger,dagger,dagger.

Taildragger - Either Pitts or Super Cub, dont know what yet, pending stiffness of said orange sausage.

See you all there.. .Dick - Get those lamb & mint sausages going!

:) :) :)

Suction - I tried to post to your website; it took ages to load, and I couldn't see a link for the Popham fly-in when the modem lights stopped flashing.

Anyway - put me down as a definite maybe, from EGMC in a PA28 Arrow. Spare seat or two if anyone wants.

Thanks Keef - you're on the list. Keep trying the site - I'm making changes daily as feedback comes in.

Cheers

Suction

Still a bit far away for me to say definately, but I fancy a trip back to Blighty to keep current, will be coming from EHRD (Rotterdam) in a twin of some description, probably a Duchess. Will be acompanied by Mrs FP and Flypupette.

Me, Aeronca Chief but with the usual dull roster caveats...........

Nothing yet showing on the Popham "events" list!

Guess this should really be on "anoraks" forum, but can anyone identify the interesting-looking aircraft there over the weekend, seen through the rain! About 5 down the row from the western end. Grey colour, nose wheel, Harvard?

Yak-52, it lives there. G

Thanks Genghis. It sure looks good amongst the other "ordinary" ones.

Ohhh I've been out of the loop a bit.

IFR I remember I promised you a lift at the Bash and I have kept a place for you, also Bogcleaner wants to come and that means that unless Hersham Boy weighs about 9 stone he will have to find another lift. Sorry HB.

If back in the UK, I'll try to bring the Chipmunk.

Funnily enough, New Bloke, I don't weigh much more than 9 stone... but no worries.

Bogcleaner not taking the big, fat Fuji? <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Hersh

Ah hersh, yes bogcleaner and I are joint owners of the big fat fuji.

If you really are 9 stone we might be able to fit you in. It depends if all of the runway at redhill is available (will be a first if it is)

T

I am hoping to come down, either C152 from Wolverhampton International or with Whirlybird.

Anyone going from Ireland, with a spare seat?

New Bloke/Bogcleaner/IFR - I'm nearer 10st these days it seems! I'll catch up with you and the green machine via four wheels or two wheels - or three wheels if another winged lift presents itself!

Cheers. .Hersh

Include FHR in a J3 Cub from the Cotswolds.

If anyone is coming from the North, or Midlands area, and has room for one more.... .I would be grateful for a lift from Coventry, will cover landing costs etc.

Cheers,. . . . :) Mike
