Von Paulus Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 Good holidays Olham. We'll be waiting for you. Quote
Rickitycrate Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 Olham, enjoy yourself. I look forward to your return. Quote
rabu Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Have a great time! ..What is Ostfriesland, a resort of some sort, or is that German for Disneyland? Quote
shredward Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Glückliche Ferien 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 shred Quote
Olham Posted May 18, 2010 Author Posted May 18, 2010 (edited) 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. But seriously, have a lovely time Olham, and look forward to your unique input on your return! (the Widowmaker will hold the Fort for you!) Yes, please, keep the guys entertained! See you in 2 weeks!

See you when you get back Olham. 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. Quote
