Aircraft Restoration "The People's Mosquito"

The sky is really the limit.
A perfect example of what enthousiasm, creativity and modern technology can do. 
If they had just first started with the paperwork ...
Let's hope they will succeed and let's support them

We can also do it, we just need to start ...

yduwelz a partagé une vidéo avec vous sur YouTube : The People's Mosquito The People's Mosquito has a simple aim: to see the return to the UK skies of the de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito. During the Second World War many aircraft were funded by the people: companies, towns, villages and organisations. We would like to repeat that model by asking the people of the United Kingdom to help us restore to airworthy condition this magnificent flying memorial that captures the spirit, the pride, the design brilliance and above all the bravery of our country. If you are interested in helping the project or would just like to say hello, you can get in touch with us via Twitter @peoplesmosquito or on Facebook or Google+, or by leaving a comment on our website: www.peoplesmosquito.org.uk.

Brussels Airlines to benefit from changed EU law that levels playing field for airlines

Brussels Airlines will benefit from ongoing European Union legal changes that it argues will level the playing field for nationally based legacy carriers compared to European-wide low-cost carriers which establish outside their home bases. Under previous legislation, airline employees were subject to taxes and social security rules of their company’s home, and not their operating base. That meant, for example, that Ryanair staff in Belgium paid lower taxes and had a competitive advantage against Brussels Airlines staff even though living in the same country.

This disadvantage was pushed into the limelight recently by what Brussels Airlines deems was misinterpretation by the foreign press that the airline would move headquarters to a more favourable labour location like Luxembourg. The airline affirms it has no intention to move its staff or headquarters. Brussels Airlines will continue to call its namesake city home.
