Luftwaffe Museum, Gatow
| RAF Gatow played a major role in the Berlin Airlift, but was closed in 1995, and half the runway is now a housing estate.
Most of the remainder is now the Luftwaffe Museum, officially named the Militar Historisches Museum, Flugplatz Berlin-Gatow. There are several hangars with the aircraft generally very well laid out, and a large outdoor collection. |
