Farewell Laarbruch
Weeze Airport, which serves low-cost airlines on the German/Dutch border, has an illustrious history as a Royal Air Force base.
RAF Laarbruch was one of four cold war airbases in Germany. Much of the military infrastructure which surrounded the airfield can still be seen today.

Forces TV's Carla Prater, meanwhile, visited the site of RAF Laarbruch in 2011, and took a look around the museum, officers mess, and other facilities.
