On the perimeter of Tegel are the barracks where a Starfighter lives. Hard to see if you don't where to look but as the homework was done it was eventually seen.

Berlin-Tegel Barracks 16-03-15
(20)+04 Lockheed F-104 G Starfighter 683-2004 - only the 04 was read so may still carry 24+04

Next up was Berlin's main GA field. Airside access was granted though the club side was all locked up with no signs of anyone about.

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.

???? G.91 - fuselage outside storage area

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.

Poland - 20th - 24th November 2014 Day 5

The last day had arrived and it was off via a pit stop at the nearest garage for what had become the standard brekkie - coffee and hot dog/kilbasa sausage.

It was still too early for Zamosc to be open but one micro was seen through a gap.

After just over 1800km it was back to where we started, Modlin. Nothing had changed here where the same G150 was again all that graced the ramp until the RYR arrived. A bit of time to kill was spent over a bite to eat and a beer whilst reflecting on a great few days away. Not a lot quantity wise, but this trip was all about the quality and there was plenty of that.

As we boarded EI-EVX for our flight home the real Polish weather turned up, snow and ice. We had it a bit cold for four and a bit days but luckily nothing like that.

After a delay for de-icing we left for the two hour or so flight back to Stansted where a quick look at the biz area was in order.
