Hi all
Expanding on this
thread who would be interested in a meet-up later this year in
Munich, Germany?
I used to organise meet-ups in the UK and it's been suggested that I have another go over here.
There are two museums in Munich which would be the centre of our meet up. They are:
Flugwerft Schleißheim which is a former WW2 and US Army airfield in the north of Munich (a couple of WW1 & WW2 aircraft, plus experimental aircraft).
Deutsches Museum München which is in the centre of Munich and is a general museum but also has an aviation section including some WW2 aircraft.
As well as the museums, Munich is considered the beer capital of the world! So it's a good opportunity to get well and truly sloshed, if an excuse is needed of course!
There was some talk of having this take place during the
Oktoberfest but I think this would prove expensive for hotels and flights. Eitherway, there's enough beer anyway without a festival!
There's a lot of history in Munich, most notably stuff associated with the Nazi regime. Also to the south in the Alps is
Kehlsteinhaus (Eagles Nest) which was Hitler's alpine summer house. This could be included if people were interested.
So, I already have a few people interested but I'd like to know how many more people were interested and a possible date. Maybe late October? (after Oktoberfest)
I can put up two people in single beds and possibly one more on a sofa. I might be able to get a discount at a Holiday Inn for those wanting to stay in a hotel.
For those in the UK, everything over here is relatively cheap and the transport system is very good with excellent access to the entire city.
Please reply to this thread to show your interest! For additional comments then please
