Finland Helsinki-Malmi~Etela-Suomi 19 June 2018

Next stop Helsinki Malmi airport and a meeting with the friends of Malmi Airport.
They have a high profile in Finland as they continue to petition to keep Malmi Airport open. This was the original Helsinki Airport and as you will see from the photographs, it has an impressive terminal building, plenty of history plus old hangars.
With our two guides, we had full access to the ramp and to all but a few small hangars. As we walked around taking photographs, they also provided us with an on going question and answer session, whilst at the same time providing us with a very informative and interesting history of the field, through to the present days activities
All in all a fantastic effort by the Friends of Malmi who deserve our hobby’s support. They even gave us the high viz vests which we had used on the tour.
