I can confirm approximately 20 French visitors arrived late afternoon to night stop on their UK tour. Today they visited Bodmin, Sandown then night stopped at Popham, they are all parked at the bottom of the hill.
It appears a highly organised tour with back up vans for mechanic support, and even a mobile kitchen and fuelling vehicle.
Most are Gyrocopters with 3 fixed wing microlights and 3 flex wings.
I will post some pics when I have sorted them
