Hi,
During our trip to Hahnweide I (and my long time friend Jan Evert) took a look at this nice german museum. It has a large collection of cars, trains, trucks and aircraft. Toys for boys so to speak. Photography is difficult but we tried to make the best of it. A trippod is a must. Enjoy and there is more to come ( if you like it……..) Regards, Bauke.

Re BUXEY SANDS.
Sorry if this is the wrong “thread” but I have joined this site today so as to try and get some info on this and the photos above (hopefully ). Perhaps if someone could tell me the best place to post this please? Many thanks.

Hi Gent’s.
In 1971, or thereabout’s, I took some aerial photo’s of the BUXEY SANDS. for a college friend of mine. I have often wondered what became of the wreck I photographed that appeared to be upside down on the Sands and of which the wingspan and engine mounts are clearly visable. Was it JU88? At the time I think my friend was looking for a Heinkel but really can’t remember…it was so long ago!!!

How long after WW2 was it before the Germans were ok about displaying the aircraft etc from the war?
In 1957 the Swiss government handed Guido Mutke’s Messerschmitt Me 262, in which he landed in Switzerland at the end of the war over to the Deutches Museum in Munich. I read that at the time the West German government felt a little uncomfortable about receiving a former Nazi weapon of war.

Makes sense. Thanks.

I don’t know the intimate details, but the basics are that museums and other organisations in Germany are allowed to display swastikas as long as they have a licence to do so. I think there is also the stipulation that the exhibit(s) must be kept indoors and out of casual sight, hence the ban on swastikas on airworthy aircraft for example.
Anyway, great shots, more please!

same about the swastikas, I am surprised.
Great post thank you.

Surprised to see the swastikas on the fins of the Luftwaffe subjects. I was under the impression that it was verboten in present day Germany but maybe it is acceptable in an historical context.
