    DSU ??

    ………..yes, I forgot the meaning of it ;

    In 2001, the DSU was created within the newly-created Federal Police.
    In 2007, the Directorate of Special Units was integrated in the Office of the Commissioner General (CG) leading the name to change to CGSU.

    a last publicity…

    (from wikipedia ) :

    Aviation hall

    The north wing, built by Gideon Bordiau, has been occupied by the aviation hall since 1972 when the Air and Space gallery was inaugurated.

    The collection includes various types of aircraft, both military and civilian, some dating back to the early twentieth century, while the most recent additions include a F-16 Fighting Falcon and Westland Sea King.
    The collection is one of the largest in the world.

    and a good video ;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG4Hg0hulrI

    Hello, Good Vibs..

    I ‘ve checked, &… indeed,…….. I didn’ t know there is -also- a Friesland in Germany !

    …………………

    Dutch: Friesland [ˈfris.lɑnt] ) is a province in the north of the Netherlands and part of the ancient, larger region of Frisia.

    …..

    The renovation of the hall is ongoing, but due to lack of funds it is going VERY slowly. The front façade has been restored but much work left to do!

    ………………………………..that’s right !! 😡

    ……..

    I’d consider the Belgian Air Component a ‘small air force’. Just because it is well-equipped and trained, doesn’t make it any bigger.
    They’re bound to get some real add-on capability with the A400M and who knows, but they might end up with F-35’s, albeit a smaller number, to replace the Falcons.

    Yes, of course, but let’s not confuse VIP-Falcon’s & Fighting Falcons..:)

    (our “future” ‘F-35’s will remain a bad dream…:D ) :

    ………

    Sadly this photo is faked, the Rhodesian air force roundles have been photoshopped or similar, the spear has been added over the RAF roundles

    Good to know…. what a pity…

    thanks to tell it !!
