Hi All,
Next summer I am planning to spend a couple of weeks in Germany and Holland. While in Germany, I will be mostly in Hannover. I was wondering if there are any spotters from Hannover on this forum? I'm seeking advice on spotting locations, and I would also like to know if the airport is 'spotter friendly'; in a nutshell - would I have any problems with the police and security there? It would be also nice to catch up with some spotters there. By the way, I speak a little German, so there should be no major language barriers 
.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Andrei

HAJ is defenetely spotter-friendly. This is quite a good guide through HAJ, unfortunately only in german (so you can practice a bit more your german skills )

Many thanks!
Reading German is no problem whatsoever; it is speaking that I need to practise more. It is not so easy, finding someone who is able and, more importantly, willing to speak German in Australia.

HAJ is a (mostly) spotter friendly airport and sometimes we even have some interesting airplanes here!

At the airport you will always meet a lot of us and feel free to contact me (ChrischMue) or other spotters through the forum.

Thanks, Christian!
I have just signed up at the forum. Was pleased to find that I have no problem reading it .
I'll get in touch with you closer to the time of my visit to Germany. It should happen in the second half of July 2013.

Thanks, Christian.
I wish I could explore them all... But Braunschweig and the GA airfields seem like a must.
