"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.

Philippe Veys collaborated with many newspapers before World War 2 and collected documents about aviation. 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.

If you want to use these documents, please mention Collection Philippe Veys.

Currently more than 100 documents are scanned. Hereafter you will find the list of these documents. Some are already available on the web. Just click on the link to have access.

François Walthéry

50 ans de BD

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.
