Really "made for Somalia"? |

Original footage of the hijacking of D-ABCE "Landshut", Lufthansa Flight 181, at Mogadishu International Airport. The ambulance may be made for Somalia or not, how would we know? Looks like a Wadham Stringer coachwork to me. |

In the original case, Lufthansa Flight 181 (LH181) was enroute from Palma on the Island of Majorca to Frankfurt when it was hijacked, while the plane was in Yemen, the captain of LH181 and former Luftwaffe Lockheed F-104 Starfighter pilot, Jürgen Schumann was shot and killed by the hijack leader; Zohair Youssif Akache, leaving the co-pilot, Jürgen Vietor to fly the plane to Mogadishu. In response, the West German Government put together a rescue plan, Operation Feuerzauber and sent a 30 men team from the West German Police tactical police unit, GSG 9 der Bundespolizei (known as the GSG 9 or the Grenzschutzgruppe 9) to Mogadishu to rescue the passengers and remaining crew. On arrival, the GSG 9 were joined by two members of the British 22 Special Air Service to assist in the planning and logistics and members of the Somali Armed Forces who were providing support. The rescue operation resulted in three hijackers dead (including Akache), one hijacker, three passengers, one crew member and a commando wounded. -- Last edit: 2023-01-25 14:24:29 |

For all the English speakers - pronounced "land's hoot" "not land shut"! |
