I'd just like to second what Andy has said above - we were made extremely welcome and there was a huge amount of interest and activity - I'd certainly recommend it to anyone.
The presentation by Herr Daniel was very interesting and Herr Hagenaur (sorry for the spelling) gave an excellent factory tour.
Thanks to Andy, Carl, Ivar, Jaap, Ravi, and Max for being excellent company during the stay (with a special medal for Carl and Ivar for acting as my co-divers and navigators
) and I look forward to meeting everyone again soon
Ps. Will post the photos in the German forum.
