I took a chance on the weather yesterday (Sunday) morning & nipped down to Popham for the fly-in. I wasn't disappointed.
Here's a few of the aircraft that turned up. I wonder how many you can identify.


Some clues. Unfortunately this is all I have room for.

Great pictures, thanks a lot

Very nice Doug

Matt

Of the airplanes that are visible.

1. Piper Pacer

2.Cessna 150

3.Red low-wing MAY be a FALCO or similar homebuilt.

4. Pitts Special aerobatic bi-plane

5. homebuilt Spitfire replica

Thanks for taking us along Doug...looks like you are going to have another great year of visiting all those airports and seeing some air-shows.. .

Nicely done, really like the Air Camper a lovely machine.

Cheers

Interesting undercarriage on the Isaacs' Spitfire. Probably more forgiving than the more normal oleos.

Great shots!! I always love the aircraft you shoot!!

Cory

Super shots there Doug! Thanks for posting them.

Thanks for the comments chaps.

The aircraft in my photos are;

#2 Porterfield CP50
#3 Pietenpol Air Camper
#4 Streak Shadow
#5 Isaacs Spitfire
#6 Boeing Stearman

Well done Flacke for having a go. The red low-winged one in #1 is an Aero AT-3.

Thanks for the info. on the Aero AT-3, it looks pretty good for cross-country. I left out the Pietenpol, and Stearman because they were not visible on your original photo. Why did you leave out the Pacer, Cessna 150 and Pitts? don't you like American airplanes or something?

Two reasons. There are 9 aircraft in the first photo. I had to leave some out due to the forum limit of 1,000 kb per topic* so I chose what I thought would be more interesting or hadn't posted before.

I have nothing against American aeroplanes. I had over 50 photos to choose from at an average file size of 150 kb & two of the five I posted are American types. The Porterfield is a very rare sight & G-AFZL is the only airworthy example in this country.

* This is one reason why I don't post more of my photos on this forum.

Thanks for the added info. Hagar. I see what you were doing now. My entire focus was on the original top photo.

Thanks for the Flickr link, great photos.

Out of that group, I suspect that the; "Streak Shadow G-BZWS" would be the most affordable aircraft to own and run, for the average; "poor" Pilot.... ...!

I like those small aircraft in my Flight Sims, for low level, low cost explorations!
