A quelques mois de l’arrêt complet des activités de la BA103 de
Cambrai, à l’été 2012, dans un ouvrage intitulé « Tonnerre sur
Cambrai », les éditions Privat retracent l’histoire de cette plate-forme
militaire et montrent la place occupée par l’Armée de l’air dans le
Cambrésis, terre d’aéronautique.
C’est le ciel qui est tombé sur la tête des
habitants de Cambrai quand le ministre de la Défense a annoncé la
fermeture de la base aérienne 103, à l’été 2012. Non seulement parce que
c’est un des moteurs économiques qui était retiré au Cambrésis (45 M€
de retombées économiques par an et 1.400 emplois civils et militaires),
mais aussi parce des avions militaires, see more on http://www.aerobuzz.fr/spip.php?article2450

Video: "Avro Anson in the BCATP"
Considered as obsolete as soon as in 1940, "Annie" was essential to train pilots and radio operators.
Ansons were after the war, intensively used for training and liaison in countries like Belgium.

Groetjes,

Duration: 1 hour, 30 minutes
Brothers Colin and Ewan McGregor follow up their documentary The Battle of Britain with a film exploring Bomber Command, a rarely-told story from the Second World War.
The film focuses primarily on the men who fought and died in the skies above occupied Europe, with numerous examples of individual heroism and extraordinary collective spirit, and Colin learns to fly the key aircraft of the campaign: the Lancaster bomber. But this is also the story of a controversy that has lasted almost 70 years.
The programme covers six years of wartime operations, and traces the obstacles and challenges that were overcome as the RAF developed and deployed the awesome fighting force that was Bomber Command.
