Re: Furstenau/Handrup Airfield

John, you are right that many things survive-if you know where to look. I have personally flown the "circuit" at dozens of ex-Luftwaffe bases. Many places can be found, Gutersloh, I have lived in the original (single) airman's and the officer's accomodation, got drunk in Goering's room (with the bending-beam and used his "Honkatorium"!!!!), worked in the (original) hangars and, flown (myself) from the airfield. Hanover (Langenhaven)- you can still visit the original techsite and the control tower (all to the rear of the modern airport). If you get to use the southerly runway, you are on the same ground that was used to test FW190's and Ta152's!
Best wishes, SM
