I remember that in 1977 or 78 (I must have been ten years old or so) my parents took me to an "Open Day" at the Airbus manufacturer MBB in Hamburg. I was impressed by the green bodies of planes (as any plane I knew was perfectly white and silver). I bought a cap and a jacket made of some kind of paper with the airbus silhouette on it. Airbus became my third-favourite plane (after no. 1 Boeing 747 and no. 2 boeing 727).

Today, I am working on a review about Airbus' first flight for our local newspaper which also concerns the Hamburg Airbus Location.
