Hier spricht der kapitän

- this is your captain speaking

 

After an amazing flight down from Frankfurt to Palma, as most people on the plane prepared for their holiday on the island, others were hoping for the ultimate end to any flight, a visit to the cockpit.

 

Thanks very much to Captain Accar & the warm friendly crew onboard the retro Lufthansa Boeing 747-800 Yankee Tango LH 1158, from start to finish fanthansa

The Boeing 747 flight from Frankfurt :

LH 1158 - Frankfurt Airport (FRA) 12:35 - Palma De Mallorca (PMI) 14:40 - 02h05m

LH 1159 - Palma De Mallorca (PMI) 16:10 - Frankfurt Airport (FRA) 18:30 - 02h20m

 

** this flight had an extra touch of excitement as Lufthansa's Boeing 747 in retro livery did the honours - D-ABYT **

 

The Munich Airbus A350-900 flight :

LH 1796 - Munich Airport (MUC) 10:50 - Palma De Mallorca (PMI) 13:00 - 02h10m

LH 1797 - Palma De Mallorca (PMI) 14:30 - Munich Airport (MUC) 16:36 - 02h05m

 

these flights were operated by D-AIXL.

An antique pilot watch made in U.S.S.R.

New arrival to the collection! A stunning bronze hand finished case. I swapped out the strap for a Hirsch Pure natural rubber and opted for the hand wind movement (Selita SW215-1 Top grade).

 

Clean, purposeful and understated but utterly cool and vintage!

Found the pouch during clean-up, so I thoght this would be a cool picture.

Gettin' stoned

  

...

Didn't try it yet. Will report how it tastes later. :D

BTW, I "vintaged" my ammo strap today. Sanded it, branded it, scratched it, waxed it and enjoyed the sunshine on my balcony. :)

@ Brenda:

This strap was a Swiss Army ammo pouch before and is 68 years old, so no animal was killed extra for me. :)

Being boiled

  

...

This extremely masculine looking "Flieger" watch made by STEINHART was designed using historical models based on the design of the so-called observer watches, which were part of the equipment of every air force navigation officer in the 1940's. This beaut sure is the odds-on favourite of my collection. The beautifully made satin-finished stainless steel case with the prominent 10 mm crown makes every watch collector’s heart beat faster. The curved anti-reflecting sapphire crystal and the richly ornated Swiss Unitas manual wind-up movement gives this Pilot watch it's unique appearance. A "must have" for every collector of Pilot watches!!

 

The strap is made out of a vintage Swiss Army ammunition pouch from the 1940's and is hold by a legendary PRE-V buckle as used on Panerai watches.

 

Watch, strap and buckle are a perfect symbiosis of Swiss and German craftmanship.

 

Shots appropriately taken on my vintage leather bomber jacket. My wife asked me if I'm going crazy, when she saw me going out at the balcony with all that paraphernalia... well, at the balcony the light is much better than inside... :D

Buckle

legendary screwed PRE-V buckle with STEINHART logo made of solid stainless steel L316. Due to its pronounced curving the buckle rests perfectly on the watchband without damaging it. The aquiline spike allows an easier opening of the buckle. The dell for the spike avoids scratches on the buckle. Compared to spring bar examples the screw on this buckle ensures a firm hold on the strap.

I love Flieger watches and happened upon a 25% sale in Nauticalia at Bluewater!

"3 AM" ~ Rob Thomas, Matchbox 20

 

"She said it's cold outside and she hands me my raincoat

She's always worried about things like that

She said it's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault

And she only sleeps when it's raining

And she screams and her voice is strained

And

 

She says baby

It's 3 am I must be lonely

When she says baby

Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes

The rain's gonna wash away I believe it

 

She's got a little bit of something, God it's better than nothing

And in her color portrait world she believes that she's got it all

She swears the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to

And she only sleeps when it's raining

And she screams and her voice is strained...

And

 

She says baby

It's 3 am I must be lonely

Well heaven she says baby

Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes

Says the rain's gonna wash away I believe it

 

She believes that life is made up of all that you're used to

And the clock on the wall has been stuck at three for days, and days

She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway

But outside it's stopped raining

 

She says baby

It's 3 am I must be lonely

Well heaven she says baby

Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes

Says the rain's gonna wash away I believe it

 

Well it's 3 am I must be lonely

Well heaven she says baby

Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes."
