| Once
in a while, an event occurs right in front of you and this
gallery is the result of one such event - the fantastic
around-the-world flight of the Dornier Do-24ATT Amphibian
flown by Iren Dornier! During his stop-over at Biggin Hill
airfield, Kent, England, SEAWINGS together with one
of my best 'flying boat mates' and long-time correspondent
to this site - Stuart 'Reggie' Martindale, was
granted exclusive access to this superb craft with a guided
tour by Iren
Dornier
himself!
The purpose of this flight is to raise funds for UNICEF (the
United Nations Children's Fund) and to that end I am pleased
to provide a link to their web site by clicking their banner
below. Also, you can follow this great adventure by clicking
here
and reading the daily accounts written by the crew
themselves on Iren's own web site. My grateful thanks go to
Iren and his crew for their superb hospitality and I wish
them well for the remaining journey. I have added some
superb images from another walk-round generously donated to SEAWINGS
to augment my own by 'Reggie'. |

By the way, I am the
one grinning like a Cheshire cat in the last picture of the first section with Iren Dornier!
Thanks, Reggie!! |
