Berlin to Poland - 15th - 18th March 2015 Day 1

Time to get the year up and running so it was a silly o'clock start for the Luton branch and a meet up with Darren and Neal at Gatwick. After the standard brekkie with Frank and Ben it was time to board G-EZBY to Berlin.

Not much happening at SXF so time to get the car and get going. First stop was for a Hastings

On the way to Gatow we sort of passed THF and we could see a couple of the stored/preserved aircraft from our route. The plan was to stop here later for some photos but that didn't happen this time.

Hangar 5 and 6 are for storage and on the public side but not accessible though a few can be seen through the odd gap or two. The outside storage area is off limits but viewable.

Expectations met at Gatow, though the IL-28 wasn't viewable, it was off into town for the next museum. I was only really looking for the Lim and Dakota here so was pleased with what we saw.

Time to stretch the legs and have a walk from here to see the Berlin Wall and have a beer and curry wurst which both went down rather well I must say.

Just a few hundred feet away from here is a tethered balloon

And that was day one. The hotel was local so a few of the above were seen from the room or whilst having a beer and kebab in the local Turkish establishment.
