Duxfords Casa (Heinkel III) at Tablada and Duxford

I´m not 100% sure, but maybe this certain CH-53 Pilot was Maj. Klaus Althoff? He lives 3km from me, retired since the German Army sold his 53 …

10/10. go to the top of the class.
Klaus was a top bloke,

I have never really understood why the CASA wasn’t dismantled and brought by road. The helicopter move must have been an expensive training exercise
for the German taxpayer.

Heres the last few for now. The photo shows the Cap 10 about to be blown around a bit. This was a good example of the man who thinks he knows best, ignoring the man with the experience of operating large helicopters with underslung loads. Seconds after I took that photo I realised DX tower had told the Jolly Green to land near the “H”, Its amazing how much notice people take of you when tell them to open their f*****g eyes and look whats happening. It was close.

Great stuff. I remember seeing the CASA sitting outside at DX at the 1998 Spitfire show, and thinking “if only….”

the “walkirye ride” would be the perfect soundtrack for such sight 😀

What the pictures don’t show clearly is, they where doing a “run and break” with a, single point – underslung load”

It was good to see…….
