Of course, we also helped our wishes along the way by diligently massaging the shackles of the Bremen Town Musicians' donkey and Roland's knees!

Then we went by bus to Airbus, where we first saw a historical outline, supported by various models, from the beginning with Focke and Wulf to today's current flight models inc. A380 received. Then we were divided into two groups and started the tour through the production halls in opposite directions. We saw the restoration by retired volunteer aircraft engineers of an Fw 200 (Condor), which was salvaged from a fjord in Norway in 1999. Furthermore, the manufacture of the fuselage of the A 400 and the landing flaps for the A350, A330 and A320 and also learned a lot of interesting details about the materials used, manufacturing processes and the structural design.
Then we drove to Delmenhorst to our new hotel where we spent the remaining 3 nights.
