Popham News & Updates
POPHAM, HAMPSHIRE - Popham Airfield management can confirm that an incident involving a flexwing microlight aircraft occurred on site yesterday evening, Sunday 23rd August, at approximately 18:00.
There is a specific kind of magic that happens at Popham on a crisp January morning. While the rest of the world is scraping ice off their windscreens and complaining about the dark, the light aircraft community is doing something much more productive: eyeing the ‘gin-clear’ horizon and checking the oil pressure.
The start of May – days are getting longer, the sun is shining more often, and Popham Airfield hosts its annual Microlight Trade Fair. This year the weather didn’t disappoint – warm and sunny, we saw over 1,600 visitors throughout the weekend, with over 30 exhibitors present.
A regular favourite of many a Popham supporter, the evening fly-in on 23rd May kicked off the BBQ season with a bang. Despite the weather threatening to dampen our spirits in the days leading up to the event, on the day, it stayed dry, if a little blustery and chilly for those braving it without a jacket!
