For many years  there has  been concern  about  the

condition  of  the DC3   located  in  the  Berlin  Airlift

Museum, at the Fassberg Airbase. Continued exposure to the elements were taking its toll.  We are pleased to see that it  has now been provided with

a weatherproof cover.

TEMPELHOF AIRPORT

The continuing saga of the now disused former Berlin Airlift linchpin of the United States contribution has once again been making the headlines.

The last information we had was that it was proposed to change the airfield into a parkland area to create in the city something similar to the central parks in the city of London.

Now a new idea has recently been suggested. To turn the airfield into an Amusement Park!

Considering the post-war history of the airfield and its contribution in 1948/49 to the Salvation of Berlin this hardly seems to be a suitable reflection on the sacrifices the West Berliners, together with the British Military & Civilian Airlines & the American Services made in keeping West Berlin free.

A Petition to oppose this proposal for an Amusement Park has now been raised.
