Belgian Wings Website Update: 24 February 2014

De tentoonstelling "14-18, dit is onze geschiedenis!" in het Koninklijk Legermuseum vanaf 26 februari 2014.

Naar aanleiding van 100 jaar Eerste Wereldoorlog  opent in het Koninklijk Museum van Leger en de Krijgsgeschiedenis  een grote tentoonstelling "14-18, dit is onze geschiedenis!" die aan de hand van authentieke objecten, decors getuigenissen, multimedia installaties, films en sensoriële ruimtes de bezoeker toont hoe het eerste wereldconflict de 20e eeuw grotendeels vorm gaf.

Deze tentoonstelling is gerealiseerd door Tempora en werd ondersteund door de Vlaamse-, Waalse- en Brussels Hoofdstedelijk- gewesten die belangrijke subsidies toekenden. 

Verschillende opmerkelijk voorwerpen vormen de ruggengraad van het parcours met onder meer:  opmerkelijk goed bewaarde uniformen van alle legers die in België hebben gevochten, het origineel Duitse ultimatum dat op 2 augustus aan België werd voorgelegd, het Belgisch exemplaar van het Verdrag van Versailles, persoonlijke kledij en voorwerpen van koning Albert I en keizer Willem II, enz.

Twee rode draden lopen door gans de tentoonstelling heen. 

  - Informatie over de twee belangrijkste protagonisten van het conflict: de Belgische koning Albert I en de Duitse keizer Willem II

  - Getuigenissen van strijders en burgers die werden meegesleept in het conflict en observatoren uit die tijd. 

Voorwaar één der grote referentietentoonstellingen van de herdenkingen van de eerste wereldoorlog.

"Expo 14-18, dis is onze geschiedenis!" loop van 26 februari 2014 tot en met 26 april 2015 in het Koninklijk Museum van het Leger en de Krijgsgeschiedenis, Jubelpark, 3  1000  Brussel

Lancaster 2014 UK Tour

February 24, 2014 - The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum is pleased to announce that they will be flying their prized Avro Lancaster to England this August for a month long visit. The Lancaster will join the only other airworthy Lancaster in the world, owned and operated by the Royal Air Force's renowned Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF), and participate in several events and activities while overseas. The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum's Lancaster will depart from Hamilton, Ontario on August 4th and plan to arrive in England on August 8th. The North Atlantic crossing will include en-route stops at Goose Bay, Labrador, Canada, Narsarsuaq, Greenland, and Keflavik, Iceland, prior to arriving at the BBMF, RAF Coningsby. Shortly after arriving, the Lancaster will undergo a scheduled maintenance inspection and then the Canadian crews will complete a short training program with the BBMF in preparation to participate in several air displays and fly pasts with the BBMF Lancaster and fighters starting on August 14th. Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum President and CEO, Sqn Ldr (Ret.) David G. Rohrer C.D. who is a current Lancaster pilot, indicated that this year, "a rare window of opportunity was identified to bring the only two flying Lancasters in the world together as a special salute to all the veterans of Bomber Command, many of whom are in their late 80's or older now." It is also an opportunity for the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum to fly together and showcase a flying display and tribute to all those who served in the time of need, in Canada, England, and the entire Commonwealth that likely will never be seen again. Further details and a schedule of the entire trip will be finalized in the near future and released. UK Bomber Membership includes Lancaster flight over Lincolnshire The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum's Lancaster will also conduct a limited number of UK Bomber Membership flights from Humberside Airport while in England. This all inclusive membership includes the opportunity to be a crew member for a 30 minute flight in the Lancaster over selected historic airfields and bases of Lincolnshire, which is often referred to as Bomber County because of the number of Bomber Command Squadrons based there during the Second World War. We are limiting the membership flights to only 75. This is a "Once in a Lanc Time" opportunity and will not be available again Each flight will have: • 4 x UK Bomber Membership Seats @ £3,500 each • 1 x UK Bomber Membership Cockpit Area seat @ £5,000 each Flight dates: August 18, 19 20, 26 & 27 (3 flights per day: morning, mid-day & afternoon) You can purchase Bomber Memberships online or contact our Flight Coordinator, Laura Hassard-Moran (Tuesday to Saturday, 8 am to 4 pm Eastern Standard Time) 905-679-4183 ext. 236 or at lhassard@warplane.com.
