No more 'Kiss and Drive' at Brussels Arrivals!


Starting next week you will no longer be able to park your car for a short moment, while you wait to pick up a friend or relative at the arrivals at Brussels Airport. This was possible until now but the airport authorities insist that too many people were abusing this arrangement.
Brussels Airport's Jan Van der Cruyssen: "We're starting a trial on Monday. All those parking spaces are being removed. You will still be able to drive in to pick up a passenger, but you won't be able to wait at the arrivals. If you want, there is a car park."
People taking a loved-one to the airport will still be able to make use of the Kiss and Drive zone on the departures level.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/ : Spitfire redux: The WWII guns firing after 70 years buried in peat

Thx Phil for sharing



Spitfire graphic




An excavation at the site of a 1941 Spitfire crash in a bog in the Irish Republic
uncovered huge, remarkably preserved chunks of

plane and six Browning machine guns. After 70 years buried in peat could they be made to fire?
They certainly could, writes Dan Snow.


Britain at war January 2012 Issue 57 : article about Paul Leva 350 Squadron

3010[1].jpgTIPPING THE BALANCE

Hitler's vengeance weapon, the V-1, flew at 400 miles per hour, as quick as the latest RAF fighters. Trying to intercept and shoot down such fast-moving objects was proving difficult for the RAF pilots detailed to defend Britain's skies. Yet, in theory, if the flying-bomb's gyroscopic guidance system could be disturbed the V-1 might crash to the ground. On 20 August 1944, a Belgian pilot put the theory to the test for the very first time.
