Considering the very low number of European gliders (only four), we agreed to send only one container using that of the Germans, whose coordinator was Diether Memmert. At the beginning, I underestimated the cost of two out and return trips from southern Alps to Osnabr\u00fcck (near Hamburg) with trailer, i.e. 5000 km and eight travelling days.<\/p>\n

The return was no less delirious: at the end of two weeks of endless discussions between our agent and the customs, while Diether had already returned to Germany, the \u201cnarcos\u201d required us, without any possibility of negotiation, to fully empty the container setting all pieces on the ground, in the port.

Diether and I had to return to Buenos Aires, hire some dockers and organize the removal of four fuselages, fourteen wings and about fifty bags and cases, to be laid on melting asphalt under the sun of a torrid summer, slaloming with our wings between mad trucks as we did our best to urgently leave this hell, and praying God that the containers that passed continuously over our heads remained firmly hung.

The decision is taken: never this any more! We are therefore working in search of alternative solutions, while hoping that the World Gliding Championship in Argentina next January can bring some improvement to the customs situation.<\/p>\n
