The aerial photograph was taken in 1980. It was made available to me by the Emmerthal Historical Archive. Thank you very much for that. If you look closely, you can see that the banks in the Weser bend were repaired by the Waterways Authority. The Royal Engineers were also involved and improved the training area.
Die Luftaufnahme wurde im Jahr 1980 erstellt. Sie wurde mir vom Historischen Archiv Emmerthal zur Verfügung gestellt. Danke schön dafür. Wer genau hinsieht, kann erkennen das die die Ufer in der Weserkurve vom Wasserschiffahrtsamt ausgebessert wurden. Auch die Royal Engineers waren beteiligt und verbesserten den Übungsplatz.
