This event was held at at Popham last Sunday. It was well-supported & one of the best fly-ins

Lovely shots Doug, not sure about the meaning of the motto however. If it was French it would mean "Yen has good", so I doubt it is French, and it certainly isn't German! Celtic of some sort?

..the delightful Pietenpol Air Camper... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

We get them occasionally during Fly-Ins, and they always attract attention amongst enthusiasts.. :)...!

...and not forgetting the fabulous Yak 50*, with its lovely Radial Growl...!

Lovely shots, Doug!

Paul.

* I haven't spotted the all black painted Yak 50, up our way for a while?

Fine shots, Douglas. There was an Air Camper at Sky Manor on Sunday. I'm sure I took a shot of it, it was beautiful.

There is a triplane based at Popham but it's a tad smaller.

I`ll pop along one day..  (get it? ::))

Hardly original but you'll still be welcome. :P

I might see you there.
