'' Mouchka '' Live : the last flight of Amanda Mouchka Stassart

Forwarded message From: Jeannine Martiny


Une très grande dame vient de nous quitter.  L'aviation était sa passion et elle l'a transmise avec amour à ceux dont elle assurait la formation, grâce à elle
la qualité des services Sabena était réputée dans tous les pays qui nous accueillait.
Elle aura toujours une place privilégiée dans nos coeurs.
Nous serons très nombreux à rendre hommage à Mouchka Stassart ce 11 Janvier à 11 h 30 en l'église St Lambert, place du sacré coeur à Woluwé St Lambert.
Jeannine.






Amanda "Mouchka" Stassart was a member of the Comet Network and helped 52 airmen to escape during WW2. She was arrested and sent to a concentration camp.
After the war, she joined Sabena as an air hostess and married Marcel Désir, one of the B-25 boys (flying with the 139 Wing). After a long and successfull carreer with Sabena, they both retired.

Mrs Stassart left us for her last flight last January 11th.

La fusion UPS-TNT pourrait favoriser les pilotes américains. Pour l'association des pilotes belges, l'Europe n'a pas défendu les emplois de Bierset.
