Popham Airfield (Rabbits) - 1 October 2020

This picture launches a short series from Popham taken before what was expected to be an hiatus of several days courtesy of storm Alex. There are a number of humorous signs around this popular airfield. One actually reads 'Mines'. I hoped that was humorous but did not go down the path - you never know.

For the aviator, the enthusiast or photographer, the airfield is welcoming and accessible. Landings on 26 in a brisk wind are entertainment in their own right. The cafe, which changed hands on 1 October 2020, is excellent. Downsides for the photographer are that a lot of shots are into or across the sun and the vehicles on the adjacent A303 can make for very distracting backgrounds.
