Graf Zeppelin's 1929 Voyage Around Word

[fstheo]

I looked around to see if anybody already presented the link to the movie 'Farewell', but I didn't find it.
It's a documentary from 2009 about the trip around the world by Graf Zeppelin 80 years earlier, loaded with original footage!
And yesterday I discovered that the full movie (1:22hr!) is available on YouTube!

For us, airshiplovers , a 'must' to watch!

You can download a copy from YouTube, but take care, the MP4 360p version is 360Mb, the FLV 480p is 546Mb!

That was outstanding. Thanks Theo!

My pleasure friends!

And yes Vin, I too made quit some hours in Bill Lyons Graf Zeppelin. Low and slow, that's me. Born in 1952, I missed them in Real Life.

And of course I was looking for details in the movie, things to recognize in FS.
The more details I saw, the more respect I got for Bill's work.
It truly is the Graf Zeppelin! There's even the barking dog in the movie! ;D
I think the moviemakers must have done some testflying in FSGW3 in order to cut the right scenes!
