Berlin Tegel VOR, TGL , 31 august 2017. Berlin Tegel VOR, TGL , 31 august 2017.Wim and I had visited Berlin in 2012 but had not enough time to find this beacon.
Wim wrote in his travel report:
We went to the direction of Tegel with help of a Google Earth printout (see below).
We had several idees about possible locations where we could see this VOR.
But we didn't have the luck to find a spot where we could see this VOR.

Wim en I went again to Berlin. We did like to stay two nights in an hotel at Berlin, but the IFA - the world's leading trade show for consumer electronics - was getting started.
In case we had stayed in an hotel at Berlin we could go to the airport with public transport in search of a nice spot to take a picture.
We found a hotel at Dresden and went by means of car to the south of the airport.
We ended at an allotment garden complex and walked to the fence. What did we see? The next 2 pictures wil show you that.
The fence is not the problem, but that wall!
Just the key of this gate is not enough.
Luckely somebody told us that there are smal peepholes in the wall. We walked left, we walked right. No DVOR. The moment that we thought that this would be the 3rd time without a photo I did see it. Wim made - with difficulties - a photo with a 750mm telephoto lens. Its not a very good one, but it is a photo of TGL.
In case you have made a better photo of this DVOR and you are willing to help us, please send an e-mail.
