Microlights

Postby Hagar » Sat Apr 29, 2006 6:52 pm

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.

beautiful little thing. Looks very much like a Spitfire.

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

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...!

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.  :'( :'( :'(

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