Glückliche Ferien :flyer:

 

Might be fun to visit the sight of the former Luftschiffhafen at Nordholz, Ahlhorn, or Tondern while you're there. Be a nice day out - tell us what you see, and take photos!!!

Tschüß

Thank you all!

Rabu, Ostfriesland is the home of the brave Ostfriesen, our people lived independant

from Kings and Lords until Friederich der Große added it to Prussia.

 

Shredward, I don't have to go far for a Luftschiffhafen.

Hage ( C ), the place of my birth, is only 4 km from my hometown ( A ).

In Hage there was a Luftschiffhafen for 4 "Zeppelins" in WW1.

On the island of Norderney was a Seeflieger base in the Great War ( B ).

 

Unfortunately, there is nothing left of all that, except a concrete ramp on the island.

 

See you all in 2 weeks!

Thanks, Widowmaker, and be relaxed - I move to the home front only.

I had actually expected a complaint by you, about my effrontery placing Ostfriesland right over Yorkshire.

See you when you get back Olham. :salute:

 

 

 

Ostfriesland? Now where have I heard that name before? Oh yea, Bill Mitchell's flyers sunk the SMS Ostfriesland ** as a demonstration of what airpower could do to naval vessels. The US Navy establishment was NOT amused.

 

** WWI German battleship turned over to the US as war booty.
