De l’arrivée dans l’atelier à l’objet exposé : les protocoles de restauration

In March 2012, a very interesting seminar about aircraft restoration was held in the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace in Paris.

The organizers had the good idea to publish the recordings of the presentation on the net.

This is in French but quite interesting.

Georges Nelis monument ceremony


In February 2011, the monument on the grave of Georges Nélis, pionner of Belgian aviation and first pilot of the Belgian air Force were stolen.

Thanks to common action of the Belgian Defense, the Vieilles Tiges of Belgian and Wings of Memory, the monument is now restored. See the article of Dirk on wings of Memory.be


Restauratie Monument Lt Georges Nelis
Georges Nélis (Halle, 22 mei 1886 - Elsene, 2 maart 1929) was een Belgische luchtvaartpionier. Hij was de eerste Belgische militair met een militair vliegbrevet.
Tevens was hij oprichter en directeur van zowel Sabena, SNETA en SABCA en wordt daarom gezien als de "vader van de Belgische luchtvaart".

21:00 (Belgian time)  High Flyers: How Britain took to the Air.
: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00nnlz3
22:00 (Belgian Time) Around the world by Zeppelin : http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00qpjpr


Many happy landings



Hallo,
 2 interessante uitzendingen over luchtvaart, allebei op maandagavond 28 mei op BBC4.
Om 21uur High Flyers: How Britain took to the Air.
De gouden eeuw van het luchtverkeer wordt in deze historische documentaire in beeld gebracht. In de jaren 20 en 30 was Groot Brittannië heer en meester over het luchtruim en waren stijl en glamour een paspoort voor avontuur.
Om 22uur op dezelfde zender: Around the world by Zeppelin.
Aan de hand van uniek beeldmateriaal wordt de eerste reis van de Zeppelin rond de wereld herbeleefd. Mede door brieven, dagboeken en beeldfragmenten van journaliste Lady Grace Drummond-Hay wordt duidelijk hoe het leven aan boord van dergelijk luchtschip eruitzag.
Groetjes,
Jules

" La Ferté-Alais: La Fête a commencé ! "

First impressions of La Ferté 2012

Arrival Day: Friday - May 25th 2012
Always the same pleasant atmosphere of dedication to aviation and the friendly welcome from the volunteers of Amicale Jean-Baptiste Salis association.
This year, Belgium is massively represented with the Belgian Air Force's "Red Devils", a T-28 and 2 Tipsy's. The Red Devils performed an astonishing training session notwithstanding the high winds. For sure they stole the show on this first day.
The Armée de l'Air dispatched a Rafale fighter who demonstrated the superb qualities of this magnificent aircraft. From their side, the French Navy delegated two Super Etendard ship born fighter-bombers mastered by the pilots of "La Royale" with the same expertise as previous years.
But, of course we visit La Ferté to see old-timers and the program is rich and varied with the Morane MS-406, the Curtiss H-75, a Supermarine Spitfire, 5 Stieglitz, a Bf 108, a Luciole and many more treasures still sleeping in the hangars of La Ferté, to be showed at the occasion of the airshow.
