Oldtimer Fliegertreffen
Hahnweide, Germany
September 11 to 13, 2025
|
Europe's largest vintage aircraft meeting. The 20th Hahnweide Oldtimer Fliegertreffen was held after a long break from the previous more usual bi-annual events (since 1981) which had been paused since 2019. Around 240 aircraft were noted, the vast majority attending were classice/vintage aircraft, most of which arrived on the Friday. So many images to present, I have decided to create three pages; Arrivals (this one), the Glider display (see above link) and the Air Show (see above link). This page is divided into my logical way starting with...

Left to right: Messerschmitt Bf 109E-4 (Wk.1983 'Red 12' registered D-FEML previusly G-EMIL). The Bf 109 was one of the finest single seat fighters from World War Two with 33,000 being produced. It was designed in 1935 and performed very well during the Spanish Civil War. It was only matched by the Spitfire's and Hurricane's performance. It could out climb both and was faster than the Hurricane but not the Spitfire. Its main limiting factor was its limited endurance as it could only engage in combat over England for a few minutes.
Red 12 was built in June 1939. It was recovered in 1993 from Titovka near Murmansk, where it had crash-landed on 24 January 1942 after combat with Soviet Hawker Hurricanes. Restored with its maiden flight in June 2023. |

Left to right: Klemm Kl 25-1A (D-EBMX) from 1927. Sponsored by BMW, this Klemm 25 features a striking and unusual propeller. Strips of LEDs are embedded within the blades and, when illuminated in flight, create vivid light effects. In this display, the spinning propeller clearly reveals the BMW logo traced in light.
The Klemm L 25 was a light, single engine, two seat touring and training aircraft built by Leichtflugzeugbau Klemm GmbH in Germany. Produced in several variants, it became one of the company’s most successful early designs.
The aircraft was also built under licence in Britain by the British Klemm Aeroplane Company, later known as the British Aircraft Manufacturing Company, where it was marketed as the British Klemm Swallow and later the British Aircraft Swallow II. |
Left to right: Klemm Kl 35D (D-EFUB) from 1940. The Klemm Kl 35 was a German sporting and training aircraft developed as the successor to the Kl 25 by Klemm Leichtflugzeugbau GmbH. Retaining the single engine, cantilever low wing layout of its predecessor, it introduced a distinctive inverted gull wing that set it apart visually and aerodynamically.
First displayed publicly at the International Air Show in Milan in October 1935, the Kl 35 was fully aerobatic. Development suffered an early setback when the prototype crashed during testing at Rechlin in 1935, but subsequent trials proved successful. In July 1936, an initial order for 23 aircraft was placed, with production increasing steadily. At the time, Klemm was also building the Focke Wulf Fw 44 under licence.
An improved version, the Kl 35D, appeared in 1938 as a Luftwaffe trainer. Powered by a 105 horsepower Hirth HM 504A 2 engine and capable of operating on wheels, skis, or floats, it was used extensively to train student pilots in aerobatics, navigation, and transition to faster military aircraft. Though not a combat aircraft, it played a vital role in preparing thousands of Luftwaffe pilots.
The Kl 35 became the most numerous Klemm design, with more than 3,000 built. The Swedish Air Force acquired several, designated Sk 15, including seaplane variants, and began licence production in 1941, building about 74 additional aircraft. Some remained in Swedish service until 1951. Today, only around 12 Kl 35s survive, most of them in Germany or Sweden.

The Royal Navy and Royal Air Force also employed the Reliant for light transport and communications duties. After the war, the aircraft was sold on the civilian market under the name Vultee V-77.

It first flew in 1932, and more than 2,230 were produced before manufacturing ended in the late 1940s. |
