Monarch Enthusiasts Day @ Friedrichshaven

Post by keithnewsome » Sat Dec 08, 2012 9:30 pm

Another very successful 'Monarch Enthusiasts Day' this time arranged to be part of the inaugural flight on the new Gatwick to Friedrichshafen service. An action packed day, very well organised by Toby once again ! We were included in all of the arrival ceremony's and recieved an overwhelming welcome wherever we went ! The day included a visit to the Dornier Museum, a coach tour of the airport, supurb visit to the Zeppelin hangar (dedicated thread to follow), visit to the Zeppelin Museum, and a fantastic evening party provided by the Airport Fire Crew !

A few of many many photos from the day, did I say it snowed a little in the morning but that makes some photos a little different ??

Some great pics there!
Looks like it was a great trip. I went to the one from Manchester to Chester and that was good too. I must try and get on another. If only they were not in the week.

Looks like you had a great time.
