The weather was kind at Popham today for the International Microlight Exhibition. Must have been a record turnout & just like a mini-Oshkosh. Here's just a few of the many different types on display. No photo could capture the atmosphere. You had to be there.













More of the same tomorrow. Hope it stays dry.

Very, very nice photos!

What's that aircraft in fifth photo, looks very sleek!

Thanks. It's a Silence Twister. http://www.silence-aircraft.co.uk/
beautiful little thing. Looks very much like a Spitfire.

It does indeed look like a Spitfire, it has that same kinda wing.

Lets play "Spot Fozzers Kite"... should be easy! Just look for twin pink airbags for those rough landings

Wonderful array of lightweights here Doug........good shooting.....

It looks AWESOME!  I want one for FS!

Whee...Microlights are sooo cute

Neato! I've heard of the Twister; supposedly a real blast to fly.

Lovely selection of photo's, Doug...!
I've always found "Microlighters/Flexwingers" to be a happy band of chums...!
Probably because their overall running costs are much less than that of other GA aircraft...LOL...!

Paul......!

"Thruster T600".... Popular at my local airfield... ...!

Great shots Doug. Shame I couldn't make it this time, nice place Popham. Gotta admit I really miss microlighting since my dad sold his 582 Flash II.  :'(

Nice shots Doug. Those Silence's look really nice. My kind of microlight

WONDERFUL shots

Hmmm - being that they show prototypes built in Germany, I'd say it looks like the He70 ...  :)
