Hi all,
Here follows day one of our recent three day trip to take in more new Airbus at Hamburg & Toulouse. As usual it was to be another early start at Stansted and it felt a bit weird not venturing around Northside 🙁
Ryanair’s EI-EKK was to be our stead towards Hamburg.

Next we paid a visit to what I think is the biggest general aviation airfield near Hamburg. Previous visits here have been a bit of a miss and so we were pleasantly surprised to find a lot of the hangars open on this ocassion and some flying going on……the request here is for the types of D-EZAU, D-EZVJ, D-MUJA and also the identity of the Piaggio P.149 parked outside on the far (military) side of the airfield please?

Nordholz
We had arrived in Germany effectively a day early because the Monday morning flights from the UK wouldn’t have allowed us to get to the Finkenwerder tour in time. So the decision was made to come out here on the Sunday and that allowed me to finally get to this brilliant German Navy (Aeronauticum) museum at Nordholz.
This museum is located just off-base and by the main gate.

Nordholz-Spieka
By the time we had finished at the museum, the sun was setting and the light fading. The only other airfield we would be able to get in before our big drive back to Hamburg, would be Nordholz-Spieka. This civilian airfield is attached the the Nordholz German Navy base and was formerly the military flying club.
We saw one aircraft outside as we looked for the entrance in and when we got there, this promptly departed. Fearing a blank as the place looked to be all shut up, I noticed that there was someone in the small ATC tower. After a quick chat about what we were doing, we were then welcomed with open arms.
A very enthusiastic lady pilot was assigned to be our guide and as she had a bunch of keys, we were then taken through each of the hangars and given a brief about the history of the more interesting aircraft. We spent around one hour listening attentively to our host and by the time we had done the last hangar, it was pitch black outside and the ground was frozen due to plummeting temperature.
