Nigel,
After reading the Popham Procedures (charming!) and having a peek via
Google Earth, I'm tempted to put a visit on my schedule for next year if
the event attracts a goodly number of UK Europas.
The current Google Earth photo shows many aircraft on tie-downs...is
this an indication of the number of planes based at Popham, or was the
photo taken during an event?

Hi Fred,
I too thought those "procedures" were rather gracelessly worded. It's a
curious way of welcoming visitors, and totally out of character with an
airfield that enjoys a friendly atmosphere and hosts numerous
well-attended events each year. I think it was strongly worded to make
an impression on the flex-wing boys that have a bit of a reputation for
joining in the style of Dick Turpin, and leaving with the enthusiasm of
a bunch of five-year-olds at going-home time!
With regards to that Google Earthe picture, I've just looked at it and
can confirm that those aircraft numbers represent the residents
(including the Antanov AN2). On a fly-in day, that number can over
double with aircraft parking down both sides of 03/21.
The Europa Club AGM a couple of years back boasted about 34 Europas
(someone will correct me if that is wrong) in a line It looked
impressive from the air.

Over 40!
In the Google Earth picture I have just looked at there are only 2
Europas on the ground so it must be a few years old.
There are currently 5 Europas based there (including mine).
