Pictures : A B-25 Back to Brussels 2012-07-11

Dear  Friends,
This message to let you know that the central section of our B-25 has safely reached the workshop..
It now can start discussions with the landing gear front leg (that joined the workshop yesterday), and the other parts that were desperately waiting for some company.
The remaining sections, presently stored in Grimbergen, will soon follow the same path.
More about that coming move later during the holiday period.
Thank you to all helpers and supporters: Best regards to all
Robert

At the same time three new walkarounds of Bristol Fighters have been included covering the machines preserved at the Royal Army Museum at Brussels, the Imperial War Museum at Duxford and the Royal Air Force Museum at Hendon. Click on the picture for a link to the datafile

Request for info/pictures of the 1950 Brussels Salon Aéronautique.

This week Vincent Jacobs provided this marvellous overview picture of the Salon Aéronautique de Bruxelles/Luchtvaartsalon van Brussel, which was organised at the Heyzel/Heysel from 10 till 25 June 1950.

Yves Duwelz promptly suggested to make an article on this event, which also celebrated the "50th anniversary of aerospace" and was combined with an airshow at Deurne -Antwerpen airfield. 

 REQUEST :

If any of our readers would have information and/or pictures on these two events we would more than welcome them and of course as usual full credits will be given for all published material.

Best regards,

Daniel

Belgische leger heeft nieuwe stafchef

Belga

wo 11/07/2012 - 23:26 Minister van Defensie Pieter De Crem draagt luitenant-generaal Gerard Van Caelenberge voor als nieuwe stafchef van het Belgische leger. De 59-jarige Van Caelenberge is momenteel dienstdoend stafchef.

De kandidatuur van Van Caelenberge wordt officieel pas vrijdag besproken op de ministerraad, maar de regeringspartijen zijn het eens over zijn voordracht.

Van Caelenberge volgt Charles-Henri Delcour op, die in maart ontslag nam nadat hij drie jaar het leger geleid had. Van Caelenberge maakte carrière bij de luchtmacht. Hij wordt benoemd voor een periode van vier jaar.
