Wings Of Memory site update (http://www.wingsofmemory.be)

Many years aga we meet a incredible band of brothers from Geraardsbergen and around.
Theses friends demonstrated incredible creativity and skills to search, find and perpetuate the memory of airmen.
They did and do not do it to entertain their ego or their public image but to keep alight for current and future generation the experience of peoples who once a day spread their wings as WW2 aviators or aviation pioneers whatever are the difficulties.
In a hard no mercy economic war, these messages of courage had been so important to boost our morale.
Today this fraternity of airminded peoples are united in the project http://www.wingsofmemory.be

It's a pleasure the share their last news.

Thanks Dirk and many happy landings
