Popham Airfield, Winchester, Hampshire

We called in here on our journey from Salisbury to Reading. It's a lovely grass airfield with a record of interesting events, aircraft and people. It's a visitor-friendly place, and the cafe is in prime position with good views over the activities. Our visit was on 15 September.
