Night 1 and day 2
Prepare yourselves, the unlovely Lynda may appear in this epic, but this is not the 'burning' episode.
By the time Lynda arrived at about 21.00 on the 19th the van & caravan were all loaded & fuelled ready for an all-nighter, so off we went to Dover to catch the Chunnel train bound for Calais.
Once 'sur Le Continent', we turned north along the E16 towards the Belgian border, but turned off to Lille before then, detoured around Lille, another town high on my 'hated places' list. Then into Belgium and over toward Charleroi (more of which later). Stayed on the autoroute till Namur then turned south towards Luxembourg.
Re-fuelled at Capellen, first services in Luxembourg, then on to Findel. Obviously getting around the airport with a caravan in tow was not easy.
Findel 20.08.13.
LX RCV , LX VCV , LX VCD , LX KCV and N221YY, entered the log, Next stop Trier
Fohren , 20.08.13
D EIIB , D MNKT , D EFVQ , D EHBK , WK 993 , D GHEA and D IESK.
Hahn beckoned..............hadn't been before, and I won't rush back.
Hahn 20.08.13
D ACGA , D ACGB , N419MC , RA 73010 , was all there was, H U G E airfield.
Then to L & P Juniors museum at Hermeskiel, still 20 th.
I won't list the aircraft (110 ish ) as there will almost certainly be a post about this collection elsewhere .
But here's the van and caravan under a plastic Concorde copy.
Naturally the ubiquitous 'Connie' too
Next a bit cross-country to Zweibrukke
Zweibrukke 20. 08.13.
D EXOP , M NOEL , G COBM and N9494Q.
Then on to our night stop' destination, Stuttgart.
Stuttgart 20.08.13
D ICDE , TC IZE , was all I noted twas late so we ate & hit the sleeping bags.
Having overnighted in the laybay by the supermarket, once we were awake we were spotting , Stuttgart is one of my favourite airports because there is quite a variety of movements, not just all airline stuff. I logged 152, but I am sure there were more.
I don't propose to list everything just some highlights.
Stuttgart 21.08.13
N41135 , YR TIK , SP LDA , LY MCA , TC ETF , HB KHF , TC AAL , TC SUM , ER FZA , OK GFO ,
HB LUJ, OY KFE , TC AAZ , LZ LDU. HB ZCH appears to be some guys 'taxi', several times I have been here it arrives they haul a 'D' reg Citation out of the hanger, put the A109 in and zoom off.
Next day we laid in supplies ready for the weekend at Tannkosh. We did a little spotting before leaving late morning.
Day 3
Stuttgart 22.08.13 , just noteworthy stuff again, logged 30.
EI SLF , OE LGD , OE LVG , N1602 , YR BAK , SP LDC , N3965T and N120GA.
We left and headed along the autobahn towards Ulm, where we managed to find a monster traffic jam because of road works, but we made Tannheim mid afternoon. Being an 'early arrival we picked our spot in the car park and went for a little wander round. In case you don't know Tannheim is the airfield Tannkosh is the event......I logged 270, on the Thursday afternoon/evening. Again I am not going to list everything just the 'foreigners', not German that is.
Tannkosh 22.08.13
