Rechlin-Larz airfield
Rechlin-Larz airfield
Had a fantastic visit to Laage airfield yesterday, seeing all the based EF2000s and was well pleased with the day when on the way back to Berlin for our flight we popped into this old russian air base at Larz, where the following good stuff was seen. Hope you like them, it was a bit dark!
There was alovely museum in the town but bit too dark for phots by then!

Re: Rechlin-Larz airfield
An interesting selection Mark wish i could have got out there after the wall fell i know a few and some Dutch did ... but i heard the Russian guards were shooting over their heads when spotted. An intersting read about "official" spotting is Brixmis by Tony Geraghty a fascinating insight to the Cold War.
