Book on Cambrai Air base



Histoire  publié le mardi 7 février 2012
par Gil Roy

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.
This video shows you Ansons used for the BCATP in color.

Forwarded message ---------- From: Jules Tielemans



Dag Yves,
'Bomber Boys' een interessante documentaire op BBC 1, volgende zondag 5 februari om 22u.
Ewan en Collin Mc-Gregor vertellen het verhaal van Bomber Command, de bommengooiers van de Royal Air Force tijdens WWII.
Groetjes,
Jules


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.

Country music recording artist Dwayne O'Brien performed his song "We Remember" live at
the ICAS Convention last week in Las Vegas, Nevada. And he produced this
video to be projected on the screens behind him while he sang. We hope
that you'll share this link widely with friends and family who
appreciate America's aviation legacy and all that our country's airborne
warriors have done to defend our country. And, of course, many thanks to
Dwayne O'Brien for both performing his wonderful song and producing this
moving video.

Chères lectrices, chers lecteurs,

Le jeudi 13 octobre, le Musée Royal de l'Armée et d'Histoire Militaire organisait une nocturne. Il n'est jamais trop tard, alors, voici le compte - rendu. Même si il ressemble à une vraie " tartine ", j'ai résumé certains évènements, tant la soirée fût riche en rencontres et autres.
