An An-2, about the only thing I see regularly but quite rare in the UK
There were 2 1/2 An-2 there although I think only one is airworthy. I missed a nice shot when they started the engine with a big bang & the usual clouds of smoke.
Lots of other unusual stuff there too. I took loads more pics if you want to see them. It's difficult to know which ones to leave out.
Did the Robin lose any parts?
No, but he even made some of the old hands wince.
That approach looks decidedly tricky in a crosswind. The trees would also make it interesting with the wind in that direction.
Cool, looks like there was quite a crosswind in some of those shots, or just some crazy pilots.
The wind was almost directly at right angles to the active runway. Popham has two runways but they don't use the alternative unless they have to. I found this on their website.

Runway 08/26 is the usual choice.
