Bugsmashers

Thought I would post these for Fozzer & Flying Trucker who share my love of the low & slow fliers. I had a wonderful weekend in the sunshine.
These were taken at Popham on Sunday, one of my favourite spots on the planet.

I don't take notes but there were at least 3 Pietenpol Air Campers on the field. First time I've seen a couple of these.

This Luton Minor paid us another visit. The British equivalent to the Pietenpol although it's only a single seater.

The Luscombe Silvaires were out in force. Here's 2 from about 10 that were all lined up at one point. I like the shiny one.

I wonder if anyone can identify these two without cheating.

Look at you, with the prop discs! I knew you'd get that sooner or later! ;)

The Aeronca model number is right on the tip of my brain, but... I'll have to cheat and keep the answers to myself.
