VAC turns 50: Popham Airfield

This year is the 50th anniversary of the Vintage Aircraft Club. Plans are now falling into place for its 50th Anniversary birthday party and fly in at Popham airfield in Hampshire. We will have a fine marquee for our base, while an ‘all-day barbecue’ and the Spitfire Flying Club will be providing food and drink on both days of the event. For Saturday night we will be organising some fun and entertainment, plus more food and drink. This fly-in could be a real challenge to your weight and balance! If you would like to camp by your aeroplane – that’s fine. If you’d prefer to bring a camper van or caravan - no problem, ‘pitches’ will be available, as will toilets and washing facilities. For those of a less outdoors temperament there are local hotels and B & Bs to cater for your needs. All are welcome to share our celebrations and those who can, bring along their pride and joy and allow everyone to admire those wonderful vintage and classic aircraft. Come along and enjoy this opportunity to see these wonderful aircraft doing what they were built to do and show your support for those who do their best to keep them flying for future generations. http://www.aeronca.co.uk/
