I came past just after three as the police and fire service arrived, traffic still backed up several miles now.

I was at Popham today and the aeroplane wasn’t visible, but it might have been locked up in one of the hangars. I do hope it isn’t a dead loss and might be restorable, there are too few PA-22s about nowadays.

Popham and its Tripacers /Caribbeans have had a troubled past
There was this accident.

Also a resident one lost in France.

Then the one that crashed in the garden in Totton.

Flyer forum saying PA-22 G-ARHN went into the trees and the outcome sounds encouraging- fingers crossed reports are reliable.
This aeroplane was very active at last Sunday’s fly-in
Isn’t this the second Tri-pacer to be lost at Popham in recent years?
