We visited Popham by car on
the way to fly AY when we discovered Popham airfield was closed.
Such a shame as it was a wonderful day to fly, but if Popham was closed
then our airstrip was likely to be very wet also. |

annual holiday forward this year to coincide with AY's annual. We
went to France as usual but our destination was a 17th century cottage
near Pau in the Pyrenees. We visited many French airfields.
Glad to say AY is back in the hanger and ready to fly if only this rain
would stop. |
