A hidden treasure of a museum - and nobody knows it

[Skybird]

Probably several days. Many visitors said that the program cannot be done in one day. There are nine hangars, and the tower, all filled with more planes, and several educational historic programs as well.

I once was at Gatow Airfield, im my youth, when the Brits still were there, it was a "public day". And with my family we repeatedly walked in the surrounding rural country. Back then there was not as much settlements as there seem to be now. One of the most favourite areas in Berlin to live in, I would say. Not so much "big city" flair, you know, but a bit more rural. Due to the river Havel and the wall even a bit isolated from the rest of the city, which I liked.

Sounds a little like the ever shrinking rural areas in Britain due to ever expanding towns, cities and business areas. Beats me, (the last part) why all these small industrial units keep getting constructed in an age where unemployment is rising.

I was wondering, do you have any idea what the gift shop sells/has for sale?

The usual stuff. Plane models, caps and clothes with planes on them, squadron emblems and so on. maybe even more, but I didn't pay much attention to it.

Thank you....I was hoping they may have had a few rare/hard to find type models for sale.

What is a Triebwerksschaufel (impulse work shovel)?

That's the plenty of "pedals" (=blades?) that are arranged around an axis inside a turbine and then rotate.

Ah! right....I understand...cheers Sky

They've obviously got them from the aircraft....would be cool to have them stamped, stating precisely what they were from.
