Bremen-Hamburg 21st - 22nd January 2020

A late decision saw Daz and Nay start the year off with a trip to Airbus at XFW. A first for Nay but Dazcat had been a few times before. An early start for both saw us arrive at a rather foggy Stansted. Not much seen here as a result of the fog and the de-icing not clearing from the windows until we were up in the air on EI-DYW operating FR3632

A pretty empty flight gave us a row to ourselves. Nay was on the right side for landing and saw the dumped Jetstream. Daz missed it again. A few biz in but nothing too exciting for a Luton local...

The light was just about gone when we'd finished the tour so we decided to head in to Hamburg for the hotel. Once checked in we headed to the sports bar we'd clocked nearby. Some lovely Curry Wurst and a fair few Warsteiners later it was time for some shut eye. The beer was needed for kip as those who have shared a room with the maskless Daz will know all too well!

It was raining when we woke so we headed to HAM first to see what was about.

Catching the Chongqing made Daz's day as he always seems to miss them in China. Nay had never heard of them.  An Air China and Volotea both on the delivery centre remained elusive.

Time to move on to a museum and an active mil base.

A few GA stops were left for the day. Bar a couple of covered trikes with no wings a clear out was first up.  We had a nice chat with the owner of the Merlin Trike, check out his website below.

Thanks to the Dazcat for the organising and driving.
