First this year

It's a while since I posted any photos. Here's a few I took at Popham last Sunday, 2nd January 2011. Unusually for me they're all on the ground & all have a nosewheel.

The Aerotechnik EV-97 Eurostar must have the best all-round visibility of any low-wing type. Very popular microlight. Available either as a kit or factory built.


Another microlight. The Jabiru UL-450.


The ARV Super 2. Originally produced in the 1980s by entrepreneur Richard Noble on the Isle of Wight. Unfortunately it suffered from problems with the two-stroke Hewland engine.
A few examples like this one have been fitted with the reliable & more powerful Rotax engine. G-BMWF now lives at Popham.


Way before its time. The Wassmer Wa-52 Europa is of all-plastic construction. EFVS was built in 1971.

Wonderful shots Doug...

I had the old girl come and look and she said the same thing I did..."What no snow"...

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Every time you post up images Doug, I smile.......

Tell me again how you're not a photographer and just a picture taker.............

These are all wonderful.....nice for you to be so close to such a fine field .........

Very nice shots Doug. Love the Jabiru and the ARV Super 2.

An interesting selection there Doug. I agree with you on the visibility from the Eurostar, unlike its train namesake I imagineyou can REALLY see the world from it

Thanks for the comments chaps. I try to post photos of aircraft that most people don't see every day.

I had the old girl come and look and she said the same thing I did..."What no snow"...

We had snow but nothing like you get Doug. I captured this from the Popham webcam on Christmas Eve.


It's all gone now but the airfield is very soggy.

Oh thanks Doug, we had heard you had snow for Christmas but not sure just how much...

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

The ARV really catches my eye, I love the design.   8-)
