After may 1st, we spend the night in Hannover, as we were exhausted (and getting older year by year) , after a healthy breakfast we headed of direction of Wolfsburg…
In Wolfsburg local guy and friend from every time Björn Schewe awaited us with his daily mango grun 1960 beetle…..
He guided us professionally to where we wanted to go…. where my samba bus served as passenger and radio car from 1960 till end of the seventies… the roads became smaller and smaller…..
Wowh, we drove just between the gliders… my samba was so happy, I had hardly to steer… he felt he was back home believe me!
The people from the club where real happy too! Really cool, and granted us space for a perfect picture shoot…
With the president of the club…
The bus felt so at home You can’t believe… she’s sitting like a natural star here!
Mandatory picture with its replacement, a T4 Syncro, “Rettungswagen” that’s about the same like what my Samba used to be…
one more, we can’t get enough…. (I think I broke my picture record for one day here!)
The radio tower that replaced the radio utility of my bus once decommissioned back in the day. (my bus used to be the radio car here back in the day at the end of its career, one of the members of this club had even an intention to build a real tower on it! Thanks God that never happened!
The club used to build a school glider back in the sixties…. we took that plane out (it is decommissioned for many years out of safety reasons) to make a cool picture shoot. now how cool is that?????
Double doors are look through, hah!
With greets from yours truly, having the time of his life!
Com’on cattle, back to your stables…. the old Eichner tractor (one cylinder Diesel) pulled several gliders at once…
What a day… and even more to come, stay tuned… these people had a really surprise for me…. I will write about it in the next days….
