OCTOBER, 2017 THE SUNBEAM

The Scrap Bin Denny Goodrich

This past July and August I spent a week in Finland and 2 weeks in Sweden visiting friends and relatives. this was my first trip abroad and I really enjoyed it. I lived with Jukka Juslin and his family while in Finland. Many of you know Jukka, who was a member of our club about 10 years ago when he was attending ISU.

The portion of the visit I want to share today is of the parts that touched aviation.

Just a couple of miles from Jukka’s home northwest of Helsinki is an old airport, one of the oldest in the world. It was an active air base during WWI and some important events occurred there.

One day Jukka demonstrated his competition electric glider.

And there was the Tuesday Model Club Work Night at (rich) member’s shop! Think double deep three bay garage with only two doors. Nearly everything

We also went to the north to a city where the National Air Force Museum is located. Outdoors were old radar antennas, a German “88” gun, a large search light and a number of aircraft.

Indoors were many exhibits, many of which were war torn objects, not the kind of thing we usually see in our stateside museums.
