The B-25 Mitchell is a great sounding aircraft, you can almost hear the props slicing through the air, nice to see it return to the Shoreham.

Dutch Squadron 320 flights with B-25 Mitchell

by Piet van den Berg

From august 1943 untill october 1944, Mitchell's B-25 were flying from the airbase of Dunsfold in England to the continent. Mostly to hit tactical objects like bridges, railways, constructionworks, and V1 or V2 launch pads. From mid october 1944, while most of Belgium had been liberated, missions were accomplished from the airfield of Melsbroek (today: Zaventem), near Brussels.

Een verrassende zoektocht van Helge Prinsen naar het verhaal van haar oom Frits Prinsen die tijdens de oorlog deel uitmaakte van het 320 of 'Dutch Squadron' van de Royal Air Force. Het squadron voerde de gehele oorlog bombardementen uit met B-25 Mitchells, zo ook op Vlissingen op 20 augustus 1943. Deze korte documentaire werd in 2008 uitgezonden bij Omroep Zeeland.

BAPA Belgian Aviation Preservation Association Newsletter October 2013

*	* October 2013
	10 ! Last October 14th, the 10th aircraft joined the BAPA in Gembloux. This is a magnificent Austria Glider offered to us by Willy Marrot thanks to the help of Bob. After the arrival of the machine, she was quickly cleaned by the enthusiastic team. This is not the only news at our workshop. Eric put on display USAAF pilot equipment near the P-38 display. Our future visitors will have so the possibility to learn about flight gears. Laurent continue to work on his front undercarriage but now he can simulate retraction and extension of the device. This is the first time in many years of active restoration we make an aeronautical device back in functional state. Unusually, we restored parts for static display only. This achievement was completed in just 3 months. Yves and Thierry started to work on the front fuselage. Taking advantage of their long experience, they first concentrate on the documentation. Thierry setup a professional logbook of all the operations performed on the airframe. They started to work on the airframe but any task if first carefully planned to cope with the manuals. Eric also dismantled damaged parts on the central section of the wings to secure future operations and study what need to be done for repairs. It was a long and painstaking task. Thanks to the results of the inauguration party (Thanks again Alex) . We started to buy the missing equipment for our restorations. A dummy for Eric USAAF flight gear and others first necessity tools were purchased hunting the internet to find the best cost effective solutions. We are still looking for some missing tools, if ever you can help please find the list of what we search at http://www.bapa.be/how-to-help-us All together we cumulated much more than 100 years of experience. In this long time, we succeed in avoiding accidents during our restoration activities. Safety is for us mandatory and critical. Aviation and specially the Belgian Air Force has a very long tradition of promoting safety by the use of posters. We will use vintage safety poster at the workshop as a reminder of good practices and put a copy of these posters at http://www.bapa.be/safety On the archiving from, we restarted to publish the already scanned documents of the Veys collection. More than 140 documents are now available at http://www.bapa.be/our-projects/07-collection-michel-veys Our collection of digital aircraft manuals is now of 808 items (https://sites.google.com/site/bapabe2/our-projects/archives) . Robert provided to us some extra cabinets very helpful to store the documents we collected or we received. André Dillien offered to us his Belgian registration files. The last update is available from www.bapa.be Thanks again to all those we support us. Our finance status is healthy for the end of this year but we need to increase our capabilities in 2014. Any support, financial as well in gift of tools, archive or aircraft is still welcome. See more at http://www.bapa.be/how-to-help-us Many happy landings All pictures available from our picture album

Thx Dave

Forwarded message - From: Dave Poissant <david.poissant@sympatico.ca>

It's my day for emails...Here's a link to flying sequences from the cockpit of the Netherlands B-25 'Siranah; she's obviously alive and well! Even if the music is a little over the top.

Thanks for Jan Kloos (Nav/B - 320 Sqn) for sending it along.

Sarinah the Dutch B-25 made her first flight after restoration on 10May2013!

Thx Coert

Sarinah ontwaakt.

Na twee jaren binnen staan en na de nodige inwendige ingrepen en plastische chirurgie ondergaan te hebben was het op 22 maart 2012 eindelijk zover. Helaas mankeerde ze iets aan haar linkerbovenbeen en vind maar eens een los been voor een dame.
Gelukkig was er de mogelijkheid om alleen het bovenstuk te vervangen.
Nu ze startklaar buiten staat vraag ik mezelf af hoe zal ze reageren op al dat onheil dat over haar afgeroepen was?
En jawel hoor, direct na de eerste omwentelingen van de motoren kwam er rook uit haar oren en haar ogen schoten vuur, zo boos was ze.
Maar gelukkig toen ze voelde wie er aan de knuppels zat en ze op het platform de voor haar zo vertrouwde gezichten zag staan kwam ze meteen weer tot rust.
Verder gaf ze toen het voor haar typische showtje weg.
Toen na een minuut of tien de brandstofkranen dicht gingen en de motoren stopten zag ik meteen dikke vette tranen vallen.
O wat had ze graag meteen naar Duxford gevlogen om wat bij te praten met haar vrienden en vriendinnen daar.
Dit houdt ze nog tegoed.
Bedankt Sarinah.

Video: "How to Fly the North American B-25 "Mitchell" Medium Bomber (1944)"

How to Fly the North American B-25 "Mitchell" Medium Bomber (1944)

by ZenosWarbirds

"After watching Spencer Tracy roar off the deck in "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo," I became a B-25 fan!" Zeno, Zeno's Warbird Video Drive-In http://www.zenoswarbirdvideos.com Don't miss our B-25 DVD http://bit.ly/HUzHnT

The Navy Department produced this North American B-25 pilot training film for use by all services. (Is that Tom Clancy at the controls?) Named after Billy Mitchell, the controversial pioneer of heavy bombing, this is the plane that Jimmy Doolittle chose to fly off the deck of carrier Hornet for the dramatic raid on Tokyo. Extremely versatile, the North American B-'25 was the US's most produced medium bomber, fighting in all theaters and exported to virtually all Allied air forces. An effective level bomber, it could also be equipped with a multitude of additional machine guns, rockets, and even a 75mm canon, for low level ground attack.

Dear Friends,
This message to let you know that the central section of our B-25 has safely reached the workshop..
It now can start discussions with the landing gear front leg (that joined the workshop yesterday), and the other parts that were desperately waiting for some company.
The remaining sections, presently stored in Grimbergen, will soon follow the same path.
More about that coming move later during the holiday period.
Thank you to all helpers and supporters: Best regards to all

Memories of RAF B25s by FRASER MITCHELL

Contributed by FRASERMITCHELL
People in story: Raymond Mitchell

Location of story: UK, Belgium & Germany
Background to story: Royal Air Force
Article ID: A2299052
Contributed on: 15 February 2004

The following story was written by my father, Ray Mitchell, in 1995, for the newsletter of 139 Wing Association. 1995 was the 50th anniversary of VE Day, and also my parents 50th wedding anniversary. Called up in 1942, Ray had met my mother whilst working in the Air Ministry. He courted her throughout the rest of the war, until marriage in June 1945, a month after D-day. Final de-mob, and my arrival, came in 1946! 2005 will be their diamond-wedding anniversary. 139 Wing Association has now disbanded; living memory of WW2 will soon pass into history and be left to historians and others to argue about. It is important that those who were there tell their story.
