Jetairfly opent nieuwe basis in Noord-Franse Rijsel

De Belgische luchtvaartmaatschappij Jetairfly neemt begin april dit jaar een basis op de luchthaven van Rijsel in gebruik. Dat heeft de maatschappij bekend gemaakt. Vanuit de Noord-Franse stad zal Jetairfly aan de reiziger vluchten naar twaalf bestemmingen in Zuid-Europa en Noord-Afrika aanbieden. Met een aanwezigheid op de luchthaven Rijsel-Lesquin wil de maatschappij naar eigen zeggen een grote potentiële markt aanboren in het noorden van Frankrijk. Rijsel wordt de zevende basis van het Belgische luchtvaartbedrijf, dat al aanwezig is op de luchthavens van Brussel, Charleroi, Oostende en Luik en in Marrakech en Casablanca in Marokko. Na de uitbreiding zal Jetairfly aan de reiziger 163 verbindingen kunnen aanbieden tussen 105 luchthavens. Een Boeing 737 van de Belgische maatschappij zal op Lille-Lesquin worden gestationeerd. Het toestel kan plaats bieden aan 189 passagiers. (MH)

"There are no Spitfires," a member of the team looking for Spitfires rumoured to be buried in Rangoon told me today.
Expert conflict archaeologists flew out to Burma for a ten day mission this month to find the Spitfires which were supposed to have been buried, in crates, at the end of the Second World War.

Collection Philippe Veys update : Bernard aircraft and Breda

In August 2011, the collection Philippe Veys was given to the Brussels Air Museum Funds to be preserved digitally and put at the disposal of the aviation researchers.

The Belgian Aviation History Library was selected for her capability to convert great quantities of paper to digital archives permitting easy access and the diffusion of this collection, the result of many years of hard labour of an Aviation Enthusiast.

We are proud to publish these documents and share them with the aviation community.

Events : Comics : François Walthéry 50 ans de BD

Les grandes expositions temporaires 09.10.12 > 24.02.13

Natif des hauteurs de Liège, François Walthéry décida très tôt qu’il deviendrait dessinateur de bandes dessinées. Ses premières planches, publiées en 1962 alors qu’il a à peine 16 ans, sont remarquées par Peyo, le créateur des Schtroumpfs, qui l’engage aussitôt comme assistant.

C’est auprès de Peyo et de son collaborateur Willy Maltaite (Will) que le jeune François apprendra son métier et sera bientôt prêt à se lancer dans une production personnelle avec Natacha, une hôtesse de l’air très avenante qui connaît depuis 1970 des aventures pleines de suspense et de rebondissements.
