PHOTOS: Abelag "Berlin Wall" is to block viewing in future..

Post by Stratofreighter »

Wegebo has been contracted a build a 2 meter concrete wall.

This wall will replace the current wired fence facing RWY25R.

Works are expected to be done in the upcoming weeks.

I don't see the link between Abelag and RWY25R. Isn't Abelag near the General Aviation terminal on the southern side of the airport?

The Luchtzak-thread also mentions "P-53"... :?

First a big new hangar which blocks a lot of the platform, and now this.... Abelag is getting worse to spot. Almost impossible...

Wall almost ready. Has nothing to do with Abelag, but with the multi million diamond robbery on a Swiss plane a few months ago. When the robbers just cut the fence to get on the airport. But for spotters bad enough :(

Good to know, but I think this is a guess because how do you explain that the concrete wall is build at places where the initially "breakthrough" never was ?
Since the EU-presidency has a Belgian EU-president, things are going from bad to worse.
The problem is that those people do not understand that the danger of any intrusion lies further from the airport than being close to the fence and enjoy your hobby.

Greetz, Karl
