Brussels Air Museum Revisited

Hi all,

It was almost 4 years ago that I last visited the Brussels Air Museum. Last wednesday I had a chance to see this wonderful collection once again. Here are a few pic’s.

Before I plan a visit, I’m sure I read last year that the museum was closing at some point for refurbishment.

Any one know if that is still on and when please?.

Brian

I have checked the website http://www.klm-mra.be but haven’t found any information about this. You can contact the museum via the website.

Another place on the `visit list`.
Thank you for sharing.
The B29 does look like the one that has the record. I remeber the team not showing up at one of the Elvington shows and not being invited back.

On a completly unrelated note the Tank under the Triplane has reminded me, I`m just finishing Band Of Brigands by Christy Campbell. Its well worth a read if you are into that kind of thing.

Great stuff. Didn’t realise they had two Spits there – thought they only had the Mk.XIV.

Thought I recognised that B-29 model, though! Is/wasn’t that the biggest R/C model ever??

I found a picture of the B-29 model taken with my wide angle lens. From this perspective it could easily be the largest R/C model ever built………:D

I remember some 10yrs ago one wasn’t allowed to take a camera inside.
