John,
This was the
Cold War, the planes were based in England and more eastern locations:
Holland, Fance, West Germany...
England? First I hear about that. West Germany is were they came from,
it was a really short run for most. Flying boats took off in Hamburg
harbour, landing on the Wannsee.
Perhaps there were some miscellaneous flights from the U.K. As I
recall, the "mainline" supply flights had less than 200 miles from
departure to landing.
