Philip De Keyser
Wow Christian, this is great, it's a must to have built the He126 from your grandpa and the Fw 189, love this story, greetz Phil

Wilfried Bogaerts
Great story Lemmy, your grandpa must have clocked a lot of flying hours!

Christian Lehmann
@ Philip: Unfortunately he had no photos because they get lost at the end of the war and he did not talk much about that time. I have to ask at te german archive for info.
@ Wilfried: He was awarded with the golden flying clasp for reconaisance crews which was given after 250 flights
PS he started his career in 1929 when he joined the cavalry

Aghis Barberopoulos
That is very interesting Christian, and quite a history you have there! Your grandpa was flying my favourite aircraft Fw189! I wish I could have met him! It is definitely a source of inspiration having someone in your family with such a background. I have as future projects both the Hs126 and the Fw189, needless to say...😉

Christian Lehmann
The great wall Fw 189 is something I have to put into my stash

Aghis Barberopoulos
What are waiting for ? 🙂

Holger Kranich
Any progress on your 189, Aghis? You started promising!!!

Christian Lehmann
@ aghis: For the oportunity

Aghis Barberopoulos
Holger, I will pick up work on the Fw189 as soon as possible😉
