Survey about Gadourra / Kalathos airfield on Rhodes Greece
Hello together,
my name is Rudi. I am from Germany and i live for 4-6 weeks/year on Rhodos island. Our house in located in Malonas, near the Gadurra river and Kalathos airfield. Some years ago I heard about the FW 200 that was left on the airfield and started to do some research there. The final aim of my investigation is to provide a summary of facts and then/now pictures of all 3 airports at Rhodes, which were used in WW2. I also want to analyze the distribution of all the airplane parts around the Island to their finding location. (e.g. Fw 200, JU52) The first airfiled i want to start is Gadourra, Gadurra, Calato, Kalathos or whatever else it was called airfield. GPS: 36.145953, 28.066232 I am looking for any information available. especially things from the early days, aerial pictures, videos, reports, findings of material. etc. If someone from here has Greek contacts for me i would also be very happy. ( Maybe Pierre ?) My next trip there will start in a few days. We will take some pictures (from the same location as some old ones i already have) to find the old remains and reconstruct the flypath&approach of a Ju52 in 1943 from which i have a video. Thanks for any information! Regards, Rudi |

Hi Rudi
Here's a nice aerial video taken over Rhodes, Kattavia, Kalathos (Gadurra) and Maritsa included. Maybe you know it already. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6-30mgwFXo Concerning Greece, this site is also very interesting http://www.ww2wrecks.com/portfolio_category/thennow/ and here's also the site of the FW200: http://www.ww2wrecks.com/portfolio/t...island-greece/ By the way, member Byron is an expert in Greek aviation history. Regards Harry |
