Although not related to this Rallye I do have a story about one I flew in in Germany while I was working in Frankfurt. One of the chaps in the office ,hearing that I had a PPL, decided “Tonight ve go to Worms!”. So off we trot in his very smart Rallye and sure enough Worms appeared on the nose. I thought Hans was lining up for a circuit, as we were at about 1000 feet, but not a bit of it. About 500 meters out he announced “Now ve land” and he just stuffed the nose down. The slats were banging in and out and I’m sure his father must have been a Stuka pilot but we arrived. It was more in the controlled crash category than a landing but we walked away and the aircraft was reusable. Tough old birds but a shame about the corrosion.
