In the Summer of 2018, I spent a week in Germany and Austria, accompanied by my father, visiting various aviation and technology museums. Our tour started at London’s Luton airport with a flight to Berlin Schoenfeld, followed by a flight to Salzburg, train to Munich and flight back to London Stansted

In August 2017, I was lucky enough to spend three days on the continent for my birthday. Flying out to Munich, I spent 2 days in the German city and also had a day trip to visit my parents, who were holidaying just across the Austrian border in Salzburg.

During 2017, I was fortunate to be able to take a number of day trips to various European destinations, courtesy of cheap return fares with Ryanair. One of these trips was to the German city of Nuremberg.

In January 2017 I undertook my annual plane spotting ‘pilgrimage’ and spent 34 hours in the Swiss city of Zurich.
