The 1980 Popham Fly-in
24th to 25th August

 |
| Ashley Doubtfire caused a lot of interest when he flew in with fairing's on his main support poles | Cameras were clicking all day including mine. In the end Ashley got a little upset and tried to stop it |
 |
 |
| Another interesting innovation was the Chargus trike and its three bladed propeller | Not sure if it was made of wood as the UAS Buggy's three bladed propeller was plastic |
