A good turnout at the aviation museum with visitors from several different D.A’s and the Motorhomes out numbering the caravans. Our thanks to Reg & Margaret for Stewarding. Despite the doom & gloom weather that was forecast for this w/e it was bright sunshine most of the weekend with just an occasional shower. It is also strangely quiet with only the very occasional jet taking off from the airport! Strange times!
Butcherland Farm, Ebernoe
Thanks to Karel for stewarding this weekend. Everyone had a great time with the Hottest weekend of the year so far. Such a lovely site with a pub in walking distance with the woods and wildlife as well, if it was a tad warm at times.
beautiful site The Walkers Petworth House & Park Happy Campers Start the day on a Full English! View from the Stewards pitch

Our first Meet of the season was well attended and proved very popular with those that finally managed to get away camping after all of the restrictions and lock downs.
27 units braved the few showers between the sun and the wind. A lovely site placed in the South Downs surrounded by wonderful views and plenty of foot paths to get to Findon, High Salvington, Patching and Cissbury Ring for the more adventurous. From the top of the hill adjacent to the site there are views across the south coast stretching as far as the Isle of Wight.
With the new enthusiastic owners , I’m sure we will return again.

This Aviation Museum has a unique collection of British aircraft from the “golden age” of British aircraft manufacture. From the end of WWII until the 1970’s British aircraft designers produced some of the most innovative and advanced aircraft of the day. From post war to cold war, this museum clearly shows that timeline in aviation terms. Amongst the list are classic names, Avro, Hawker, Gloster, De Havilland, English Electric, Blackburn, Percival.
