RAF Laarbruch Museum Tour Ep 1

During our recent trip to Germany, Exploring Dave and Andy visited the Museum at RAF Laarbruch. Dave used to be based at this air station in the 1970's and remembers it well. This is our journey into of our experience of the museum. Due to the size of the museum this will be a two part series with the RAF Regiment section being its own video also. From the Owners; RAF Museum Laarbruch-Weeze Association Germany's first and only museum on the history of the Royal Air Force Germany (RAFG), invites you on a trip down memory lane to explore the 45 years history of the RAF Laarbruch and of course, not forgetting the Royal Air Force's presence in Germany. The museum houses numerous exhibits varying from aircraft that actually served at RAF Laarbruch. Two cockpits, anti-aircraft weapons, ejection seats, dioramas illustrating the different aircraft that served at RAF Laarbruch, also uniforms and other memorabilia. Numerous publications/ documents show the presence of the British Military from 1945 to 1999, especially in the Lower Rhine region, and thus bringing an important chapter of local and post-war history to life and making it tangible. The visitor can understand how, in more than four decades, occupiers and occupied became friends and allies. Both during the Cold War period and immediately thereafter, the Royal Air Force was a guarantor of security and peace, freedom and friendship. The museum opened up to the general public in 2007, and is located in three diverse buildings, firstly the main building being the former Anglican church (St. Peter's), this contains the history of Laarbruch, and also includes several cockpits ( Buccaneer, Canberra ). Secondly the former Savings bank which is located next to the main (St Peter's) building, this is dedicated to the RAF regiment. And then finally the ASTRA cinema , this building not only contains a Hawker Hunter T7, but other diverse memorabilia and material. It also shows the history of RAFG, from its beginnings in late 1945, right through until 2001, when Royal Air Force Bruggen, the last front line station, closed down as an active flying station. The Museum is located on the grounds of the civilian Airport Weeze.
