Aircraft models at the Schwanheim Aviation Fair 2014.

[Henry Tenby]

Before we get to the models, I have to relay some sad news. The long time organizer of the famous Schwanheim Aviation Fair Lothar Grim very sadly passed away last Thursday, just two days before the show.

Lothar had been battling cancer and was actually hoping to attend the show, but it was not meant to be. Lothar's good friend Heeli made a very sad announcement about Lothar's passing at the start of the show (in both English and German) which was followed by a very lengthy applause as everyone in attendance paid their respects and appreciation to all of Lothar's fine efforts. Lothar was a very kind man, and will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.
