This was a momentous event in German civil aviation - the first flight of the first scheduled IF service between East and West Germany. The route was via Czech airspace (to avoid flying over the recently defunct Wall) from/to Leipzig. Although I left home in plenty of time everything conspired against me and by the time I arrived on the terrace she had already taxied - still irks me to this day!

One of the exhibits at the Gifu Air Base Museum and photographed during the base open day. I waited as late as possible after the flying display before photographing the exhibits in order to reduce the number of people in the background and, unfortunately, the guard present wouldn't let me touch the cones.

FFD has a very long runway and it is expensive to deploy the braking chute, therefore, XH558 can safely use only her airbrakes to slow down before vacating rw09 at the end. RIAT 2012 had a high quality flying display this year but 'the Spirit of Great Britain' was still one of the highlights.
