Wings Of Memory site update (http://www.wingsofmemory.be)

Many years aga we meet a incredible band of brothers from Geraardsbergen and around.
Theses friends demonstrated incredible creativity and skills to search, find and perpetuate the memory of airmen.
They did and do not do it to entertain their ego or their public image but to keep alight for current and future generation the experience of peoples who once a day spread their wings as WW2 aviators or aviation pioneers whatever are the difficulties.
In a hard no mercy economic war, these messages of courage had been so important to boost our morale.
Today this fraternity of airminded peoples are united in the project http://www.wingsofmemory.be

It's a pleasure the share their last news.

Thanks Dirk and many happy landings

In short, 

• Wings of Memory helped the ex astronaut Thomas Jones to send back home a P-47 Thunderboldt of  365 FG. This group operated from Chièvres and Florennes..
• In September 2011, Wings of memory was involved in the repair and restoration of the monument on the last of resting place of Georges Nellis, the first belgian Military pilot.

English and French version will be soon available 

Good show boys :-))

A really interestingh blog discovered thx to Philippe

Ardennes Avions abattus en 1940-45

Back to the roaring Sixties; Koksijde Airshow 1968

Hi,
Since many years I wanted to bring together as much information as possible on the many Belgian airshows organised in the last 100 years.
This week I started the first of a new series of reports on vintage Belgian airshows with the International Koksijde Airshow 1968 organised on Saturday and Sunday August 10/11, 1968.
It is clear from the provisional list of participants that these old meetings were as exciting as todays events. So sit back, relax and enjoy this nostalgic tour on Belgian Wings by clicking here:

As the published participants list is only provisional I would appreciate if you could sent corrections, additions and eventually pictures. Please contact through brackda@gmail.com

New Formula for Avions

AVIONS N°186 - NOUVELLE FORMULE !

Parution du 21/02/2012
Auteur : Divers
Edition : Comment devenir un as sur Dewoitine D.520 : Hubert de Salaberry AVIONS, LA REVUE D’AVIATION DU 21e SIÈCLE ?

Que de chemin parcouru depuis nos débuts il y a presque vingt ans, en mars 1993 ! AVIONS, mensuel à l’époque, n’avait que 48 pages… Nos lecteurs en demandant déjà davantage, nous sommes passés à 64 pages avec notre n° 69 de dé-cembre 1998 mais cette augmentation de volume s’est avérée difficile à suivre pour le rédac’chef que je suis, désormais incapable de participer à nos autres collections : HISTOIRE DE L’AVIATION, PROFILS AVIONS, HORS-SÉRIES AVIONS, etc. Nous avons donc opté pour une parution bimestrielle à partir d’AVIONS n° 144 en mars 2005, ce qui me dégageait suffisamment de temps pour effectuer de nouveau des recherches. Vous n’avez bien sûr pas été enchantés, amis lec-teurs, mais vous avez compris qu’il s’agissait là d’une nécessité… d’autant que vous avez « récupéré » dans l’affaire huit pages de plus par numéro.See more at http://www.avions-bateaux.com/produit/avions/1785
