Something different.

  

Hello World,

 

A few words about other restoration projects. Many of our visitors come in Brussels to see the WW1 aircraft. We have the luck to house some unique survivors of the first conflict.  

 

In March 2007, the Museum tasked a team of Museum staff and AELR volunteers to restore the Halberstadt  C.V 3471/18 W/N:1368.

 

The team headed by David is now completing the restoration of the 4th wings of the aircraft. The metal fittings were found to be well preserved with very few traces of corrosion. The restoration of these wings permitted a study of the fabrics covering the wings. We hope to publish more pictures of this project in the future.

 

Another gem under restoration is the LVG C VI. The aircraft is under the cares of an AELR volunteers group. A first team started the restoration many years ago but today another team is working on the engine, the fuselage and the wings. This Saturday, one of the wings was uncovered to assess the damages of times.

 

Mike Lewis who works on both projects published informations about these restorations on his website.


Another interesting project (not at the Museum) is the construction of a Morane Saulnier Parasol at a Flemish school. Have a look in the website updates.

 

This week, Luc received a pilot’s flight suit thanks to the contacts he established with the French Armée de l’Air. The items were given to the Museum and we hope theses equipments will be soon on show.


Our Sea King is still in the process to be prepared for display. There are a lot of very interesting videos on the net availlable about the Sea King. Have a look at the Videos.

 

The Belgians in RAF & SAAF 1940-1945 site is updated with the biography of Léon Branders thanks to Philippe.


Received from Louis the address of the French Armée de l'air Orange air base.

 

André Hiernaux processed 2 pictures of the Tipsies to gives us an idea of the future future look of the Tipsies after restoration.

The "Miss" & website updates.

  

Hello World,

 

This week, the weather is still very cold and although there are a lot activities this week, this is not much things to be seen.

 

Eric found a lot of bits and nuts to be added to the Mosquito. With the availlabillity of technical manuals, it is now possible to identify some parts and to prepare these items to be installed.

 

Michele is still hard working on the Dragon Rapide electrical systems to make it functionnal. Bruno and Marcel installing devices on the main spar.

 

Vincent is now preparing the engine installation on the Tipsy Trainer. He also rediscovered the seats which will be prepared for future restoration. Marc is busy with cleaning the Tipsy Belfair.

 

On web sites side, there was a lot of acctivities.

 

  • The website of André Dillien is now up to date.
  • Thanks to Frank, we discovered Lancaster.lu remembering a Lancaster crash in Luxembourg.
  • The website of the Fonds National Alfred Renard contains 2 new pages where you can discover the Renard R31 replica project and the display.
  • The allways excellent HangarFlying contains an article on "how to have an airplane in your garden".
  • The site of Dominique Timperman about the Belgian Sikorsky's moved, please adapt your link
  • More about Comics attack at dawn at the Museum

 

André prepared more of his drawings about aircraft of the Museum. Special update next week.

On the Video side, discover 2 forgotten video about the Red Devils and a fantastic document about the Fairey Rotodyne including views of a flight from Brussels.

 

But the biggest new of the week is the future release of a motion picture about "La Miss" Christiane De Vleminck. She is definitively a living figure in civil aviation in Belgium and we were delighted to meet one of the directors of this film this Saturday.

 

Hoping to see you soon

“ Do forgive but do not forget “: these words are mostly mentioned every time a war memorial is inaugurated to recall one of so many cruel or heroic events during World War 2. The construction of a memorial monument, after exactly sixty years, for fourteen young men, (thirteen of them lost their lives when their two Lancaster bombers were shot down) is a proof that this sentence is not an empty slogan... 

Thanks to Frank

 

 

 Jette (Bruxelles), le 31 janvier 2009. Nous voici donc face à un avion dans un (grand) jardin de l’agglomération bruxelloise par une belle journée ensoleillée et particulièrement froide. La propriétaire de cette machine volante, Mirelle Titeca, nous en fait les honneurs.
