Currently, still 69 Bolkows reside at Celle. Unfortunately I was told that the hangers will not open for the public. All colourfull machines will be put on static display though.

Cheers,
Update from Celle - PR
As of today only 56 Bolkows remain on base. It seems the place is drying out fast. The hangars will remain off limit though despite several kind requests made. Access will only be given to the static area and the nearby flying display zone.
according to facebook:
"....
Liebe Spotterinnen und Spotter,
wir freuen uns, Euch alle am kommenden Mittwoch zum Flyout der Bo-105 begrüßen zu dürfen.
Um den Tag so angenehm wie möglich gestalten zu können, möchten wir Euch den Hinweis geben, dass es während des Eintreffens der Gast-Luftfahrzeuge und bis zur letzten Landung der Teilnehmer für das Fotografieren der Luftfahrzeuge von Vorteil wäre, wenn Ihr Euch eine 3-Trittleiter mitbringt.
Wir wissen, dass dies nicht der optimalste Vorgang ist, aber auf Grund von Bestimmungen und Auflagen der genehmungsfähigen Behörden nicht anders möglich.
Für das spätere Flying Display und dem Fotografieren des Static Display wird diese nicht mehr von Nöten sein. ..."
quick and dirty translation:
dear spotters, you are welcome on Wenesday for the Bo-105 flyout (if already registered).
To make the day pleasant a 3-step-ladder would be useful while guest helicopters are landing.
We know this is not the best solution, but due to regulations there is no other way.
For the flying and static display the steps are not necessary anymore.
I just quoted facebook. So I can not answer why and so and so... Just for information.
Have a save travel. See you at Celle.
As Nils already stated, a lot of visitors from the original line up did not show up (possibly some because of the horrible weather forecast and bad conditions from time to time). However, some additional numbers and spontanious fly by's were arranged by the organisation. Too bad the organizers put us spotters at a spot from where the action was hard to catch and entry to the static was only limited. Combined with the harsh conditions, it was a challanging event. Nevertheless I and my son enjoyed ourselves and stayed in good company.
Here's a initial set up of what we noted (sub-versions/mods of the Bo-105's were not noted):
Flightline Halle 2 (* = confirmed flying):
86+21 Bo-105P TE900
86+33 Bo-105P TE900 *
86+34 Bo-105P TE900 *
86+39 Bo-105P TE900
87+16 Bo-105P TE900
87+62 Bo-105P TE900 *, spec. c/s (Falcke, Legends never Die, last flying German Bo-105, later put on static)
87+66 Bo-105P TE900
87+72 Bo-105P TE900
87+78 Bo-105P TE900 *, spec. c/s German flag
87+87 Bo-105P TE900
8 of the above also took part in the final fly out ceremony/fly by.

+10 others (86+47, 86+56, 86+59, 87+26, 87+55 given via a German spotter who succeeded in walking in front of the hangar and noting the ones readable)
