Two nights ago the people who want to preserve the air field had exposure on nationwide TV in Holland. Marcel H. was well in focus. The item in the newsshow started off a bit omnius, like ; "Fliegerhorst Venlo was the biggest air base of the Luftwaffe. Planes from this field shot down and killed around 2,500 Allied soldiers. Now they want to preserbe the site...."

But the rest of the item, and especially the arguments and interview of Marcel and the German Venlo enthousiast turned out very positive in my view. Apparently both the municipality and the province have both allocated money for the restoration of the site!!!

It seems they are in full swing for preservation and rstoration now. [img]graemlins/salute.gif[/img]
