Last year we where driving down the motorway and my wife pointed I had a quick look and saw a Concorde and a TU144 on top of a roof, good job an exit was about a mile away, pulled in and spent 6 hours walking round the place cost about 14 euros, best value in Germany. If you are in the area well worth a visit

They also have a sister site about 35 miles away, not been there but will when next in the area.

That's in Germany? Then holy shit, I have driven by it, on a military convoy to either Stuttgart or Grafenwoehr, can't remember which. I distinctly remember the big "AIR FRANCE".

Who's the Vice President, Jerry Lewis?

In a world where audio recording technology never advanced beyond the vinyl record, humanity develops "portable" record players for people to listen to their music when out and about.
