A rather strange looking aircraft originally designed and built at our local aerodrome at Old Sarum. Yes it actually flies! The Edgley EA7 Optica is back in production after a number of years and setbacks. Designed originally as an observation/spotter plane as an alternative to expensive high maintenance helicopters but now a favourite with weekend Biggles wannabees. The approach to the airfield, circa 1917, is directly over our house, Old Sarum castle and then onto the grass strip, if all goes well.
