Today's spectacular weather gave us the chance to visit our neighbours at Clench Common and to arrive back at Popham as the sun was setting. It doesn't get much better than this! Magni Gyro srl M16

Doing the washing-up will never be the same again for professional pilot Charlie who today earned the honour of owning his very own Magni Gyro tea-towel after passing his test today in the Magni Gyro srl M16 at Popham Airfield with Examiner Steve Boxall. Congratulations to Charlie and his instructor Andy Jones!

Another fantastic Popham event - hard to believe that we are now in our 12th year at Popham!

Looking back at the brilliant Popham 50th birthday fly-in last weekend - includes vintage footage of the first landing at Popham Airfield 50 years ago.
