Luftwaffe Aces meet.-. and have new record in Speyer

Former Luftwaffe Aces Walter Schuck, Hajo Herrmann, Hans.Ekkehard Bob, Ernst Scheufele, Karl-Fritz Schlossstein and nightfighter Peter Spoden met this year on 20th of October again at our stand in Speyer hundreds of air war enthusiasts and collectors.

We were proud to present the Eagle-Aces in an unbelievable freshness to new and young admirerer and/or long time well knowns friends.

The Old Eagles were surpised and happy, that especially this time more and more of the young genereation came to honour them and wanted to know "all about them".

Besides this, a very special event took place:

Richard Perlia (102 (!) years old, former test pilot of a WW II aircraft factory, Hajo Herrmann, former Colonel of JG 300, "Wilde Sau", 94 years old and 90 years old Hans-Ekkehard Bob, Major from the "Greeneart Hunters", JG 54

undertook a flight from and to Speyer to be recorded in "The Guiness Book of Records" saying,

no older crew than them

- 90 years or older -

ever made such a flight before, see attached photo.

This time a lot of friends from Europe, UK, USA and Singapore joined this event in Speyer.

My special thanks for this goes to

Dave Williams (UK), Mark Copeland, Tim Erikson (both North West Airlines), Richard Miller and his wife (all from USA) and to Andre Steward, who undertook the trip from Singapore to meet Karl-Fritz Schlosstein.

The attached photo, taken in Speyer on the 20th of October 2007, shows from the left to the right:
