Canadian Vintage Wings : Dinner with Harry

Forwarded message From: Vintage Wings


Ladies and Gentlemen Aviators

Like Maximus Decimus in the motion picture Gladiator, the citizen warriors of the Second World War wanted nothing more in payment for their sacrifice, than to return home and pick up the threads of their former lives. Those who were granted this priviledge of an ordinary yet beautiful life are heroes to us at Vintage Wings of Canada. Follow this link to read about a simple dinner with a gentle man of great kindness and civility -

Subject: BRUSSELS AIRLINERS CONVENTION 2012

Dear Aviation Enthusiasts,

I have the pleasure to inform you that the BRUCONVENTION 2012 is fully confirmed !

It will take place on Saturday 17th November in the usual school in Zaventem (Atheneum Zaventem-Kortenberg, Spoorwegstraat 1, Zaventem) from 09 am until 4 pm. Entrance will only be 2€ per person. It's one month later than usual due to the limited availability of the location and many other conventions taking place in October around Europe.

The BRUCONVENTION exists for more than 10 years and is the place where you can find everything you need for your favorite hobby : photos, postcards, aircraft models, books, safety cards, posters and other aviation memorabilias. Prices are always very competitive and you will meet collectors from other European countries.

If you want to ask a question or book a table (only 25€, including one entrance), you may do it by email (bruconvention@hotmail.com). Visitors with a reserved table will be allowed to enter from 8am to install their collectibles.

I hope to see you all on Saturday 17th November to share our common passion for aviation. Please pass on this message to your friends. It's important to keep the convention alive !

Kind regards,

Olivier Lamoral
