Pics from Solent Aviation / Luscombe / Pietenpol & Autogyro Fly-in
The star was the recently restored foster-Wilkner GM1 Wicko.
Good to meet G-ASML as well.

Thanks for the kind comments – yes it was a good day and it certainly attracted a good number of interesting aircraft.

Thanks must go to Steve & Shelly for supplying magazines / stickers for our pilot bags – much appreciated.

Not sure if he has but look out for the airfield moggy if he has not paid 🙂

Good to meet you as well Paul. Congratulations to all at Popham on a great fly-in. Well worth missing the Vimy (and Melvyn) at Turweston, to join in.

See you next year!

PS. Has Arfur paid for his petrol yet??

Good to see the pic of the Rearwin managing to take off despite Man-on-the-Fence’s bulk and cameras!

I was going to say nice things about your aircraft as well.

Oh well. It flies and its orange! 😉

Nice pics Paul.

Galdri, yes – AFJB is the Wicko and very nice it was too. Built locally at Eastleigh pre ww2.

What type of aircraft would that G-AFJB be? Is it the Foster-Wilkner GM1 Wicko that paulc talks about at the start of the thread? I’ve never seen anything like this before! Must be british! :p

We had intended to get back a little earlier to fly in to a Popham Fly in instead of my usual trick of taxying in. Got waylaid waiting for the Vimy thoug
