Hi all,
I spent a very pleasant few hours today at the “Show Me Yours” event at Popham. This was the first airfield ‘open doors’ that I have ever been to and it’s an interesting idea. The concept was to get as many residents on display as possible.
There was a smattering of visitors too and the whole affair was really laid back and relaxed, as is usual at this wonderful airfield. Then you add to that mix, taking dogs around is not a problem either, and it’s a perfect day for Jet and I. This isn’t a full log as I didn’t go around the hangars at the 08 end.
Let’s hope this kind of event might happen elsewhere. Good for me were G-DAMS, DCMI, DIYA, DUDP, IMPT, IROK, ORNG, PLOT, SRCB and SZTD which is still being built.
