Gatow Museum 3/5/23 - Part 1

[ian531]

Hi,

We visited the Gatow museum while we were stopping in Berlin, we were first through the gates so we had the outside exhibits to ourselves, plus perfect weather.

It might take me awhile to go through all the photos so I will split it the posts into sections

Great sets of photos Ian, I really must get my act together and visit Gatow.

Thanks Martin, it is well worth the visit
It was an easy drive from Berlin, we were the only ones there for ages and it’s free

The only problem is the amount of aircraft in storage and not on display including the 2 Hansa jets that they have

Ian we went to Gatow nearly eleven years ago and there was an area visible from the flight line that had about a dozen aircraft in open storage that included

1626 MBB HFB 320 Hansa Jet ECM. Did you not see 8308, the Weserflug H21 Shawnee? The flying banana helicopter. Beemer

Hi Brian

No, that was another I was hoping to see but it must be in storage

There was a few aircraft in open storage, but nothing exciting
