Après la diffusion des six épisodes de la série documentaire Les Combattants de l'ombre consacrée à la résistance en Europe, la Une propose un documentaire inédit coproduit par la RTBF consacré à une page de la résistance en Belgique:
Le dernier passage

Un documentaire de Iurre Telleria et Enara Goikoetxea

Ce film retrace l'histoire du Réseau Comète, un réseau de résistance créé en Belgique pendant la seconde guerre mondiale pour permettre le rapatriement, via la France et l'Espagne, des aviateurs anglais échoués en Europe. L'instigatrice belge de ce réseau, Dédée de Jongh, est décédée il y a quelques années. Les auteurs de ce documentaire replongent dans le passé grâce à des reconstitutions, des images d'archives et aux témoignages de survivants, belges, français, espagnols et anglais.

Winter timetable 2011-2012 : Brussels Airlines increases frequencies to Moscow

Brussels 24 October 2011

 During the upcoming winter season, Brussels Airlines will increase its flight frequency between Brussels Airport and Moscow’s Domodedovo airport. From the end of October onwards Brussels Airlines will connect the Russian Capital ten times a week with Brussels. Other highlights of the winter timetable are the new destinations Bamako, Agadir and Marrakech who appear for the first time in Brussels Airlines winter schedule.
Till the month of June Brussels Airlines was operating seven weekly flights to Moscow Domodedovo. Since then an eighth weekly frequency has been added. Starting this winter season, two more weekly frequencies will be offered. In total, Brussels Airlines will then offer 10 weekly flights between the European capital airport and Domodedovo. The flight increase has been made possible thanks to an expansion of the bilateral aviation agreement between Belgium and Russia. Also the growing market demand justifies the frequency increase.
The additional frequencies are scheduled on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday with a late evening departure from Brussels Airport and an early morning return from Moscow on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. All these flights connect smoothly at Brussels Airport with European and African services of Brussels Airlines.
The new winter timetable also contains new Africa destinations. Bamako (Mali), a destination that Brussels Airlines is connecting twice weekly since September, pops up for the very first time in the winter schedule. Also Agadir and Marrakech are newcomers in the winter timetable.
During the upcoming winter season, Brussels Airlines will operate larger aircraft with additional seat capacity on several routes. Flights to Hamburg, Berlin, Geneva, Copenhagen, Vienna, London Heathrow and Tel Aviv are upgraded thanks to the fleet replacement programme whereby some Boeing 737 and AVRO RJ aircraft are replaced by larger Airbus A 319/320 aircraft equipped with new ergonomic seats that offer more leg space.
On several routes like for example Athens and Lisbon, Brussels Airlines adjusts the timing of its flights resulting in improved connection possibilities with other flights.
Due to lower market demand on typical summer destinations, some destinations are suspended this winter. Flights to Seville are operated till the 13th of November, Naples and Catania till the 6th of November. On some other routes frequencies have changed in order to adapt seat capacity to the lower market demand during the winter or the weekend days.

Aircraft preservation : Fairey Barracuda : The jigsaw bomber: Aircraft enthusiasts rebuilding 'extinct' WWII plane from decades worth of scrap

The jigsaw bomber: Aircraft enthusiasts rebuilding 'extinct' WWII plane from decades worth of scrap metal

---

More than 2,500 Fairey Barracudas were built during the Forties.

---

The torpedo bomber won some of the most pivotal victories of the Second World War, including the crippling of the Tirpitz, the Nazis' most fearsome battleship.

---

However, despite the planes' loyal and honourable service, no complete version has been preserved after they were all shot down, scrapped or crashed.

---

But now British aviation enthusiasts are ready to bring the extinct WWII bomber back from the grave, by rebuilding it from salvaged pieces of scrap.

Friday, July 29th, 2011. Imagine a foursome of golfers at the Huron Pines Golf and Country Club near remote Blind River, Ontario, about to tee-off from the 18th on a wet afternoon. The skies are dank and glowering, the air humid and close, the waters from the Mississagi River run the length of the fairway. As the fourth man addresses his ball, the others stop talking and the sounds of nature take the place of the gossip and cursing.  Waggling his club head, he hears the raven's croak in the pitch pine behind the tee box, a cicada buzzing like a downed power line and an unidentified sound that stops him mid-backstroke. Far above, out of the eastern sky, comes a clattering relic from some distant time and place. Against the heavy, gray belly of cloud, the black silhouette of a large, war-like biplane moves with great effort and great noise towards the west, picking its way through the mists.
