Title: Brussels Air Museum - part2
Post by: IFF1418 on December 16, 2013, 02:41:18 AM
Hi friends,

When I took the pictures of the "Bataille" I also ( in a hurry, because I was in forbidden territory) took some pictures of some other aircrafts. Although hastily, there are a lot of pictures. So I will post some from time to time. Thank you for looking and I hope you will enjoy them. But they are no more than supplementary on the beautifull pictures of Philippe.

Kind regards
Patrick

Supplementary you say Patrick but they are no less useful to duffers like me. Oh that lovely dented Camel cowling and the bothersome acorn above the machine guns. How on earth will I manage that? The first two photos also give me a queasy feeling. In making my Eduard Camel pretty much from the box I'm stalled, if you forgive the pun, because I bashed on and blissfully ignored a problem I suspected was there: what seemed to be indefeasibly large gaps all round between the kit ailerons and the main structures of the wings. Your photos show that I will have to correct it some how.

Thanks for the photos.

Best wishes
Nigel

Hello Nigel,

I am glad that the photos could be of some use to you. And that is the idea of posting them. To help the fellow members with their builds if neccessary and possible. Yes it's a beautiful aircraft and some day I wil certainly give it a try. But then I have to live long enough. And my possibilities in that view are becoming smaller and smaller.

Kind regards
Patrick

Some great details in those photos, Patrick, thanks much for sharing. The fairings on the front of the vickers are an interesting detail I hadn't noticed before in other photos I have seen of this Camel.

Thanks Patrick!  Those closeups of the Camel will be helpful with my current build.  ;D

Many thanks for the photos, especially the Camel, Patrick!  As Bo mentioned, the
ones of the Vickers are very helpful. But then again so are the rest.  Well done, my
friend!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Hi Ernie,

Thank you dear friend, I'm almost at the end of the voyage. A Schreck (waterplane) and Maurane Saulnier interbellum and a few very oldies and a few guns.

Kind regards

Great pics Patrick - but the "DH4" isn't - it's a Bristol Fighter with a differant engine!
 It's also hard to believe that any mod could have made the RE8 even more ugly than it was originally - but fitting that Hispano-Suiza engine certainly acheived it!

Now come on Ian, any more of this sort of talk and I'll be starting the 'Harry Tate' appreciation society. Even if I were to be the only member! 

Thanks for the photos Patrick.

Patrick, my friend, you really have done well for us with all the
great photos.  They will be of great help.  The Brussels Museum
looks to be an enormous  building.  Was it a railway station at one
time? 

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Dear Ernie,

The museum was part of a parc with huge buildings destined to figure as exposition halls at the end of the 19th century by King Leopold II. He wanted the capital of Belgium look a bit like Paris. Therefore it has always been an exposition hall and I think that the Minestry of Defence is the owner. Somehow the exposition hall and even the aircrafts show a rather lack of money these days, although it is rich in all these fine aircrafts. All is done by volunteers. When you look at Jim’s photo’s of Paris and London you can quite see the difference. Thank you for stopping by my friend.

Kind regards
Patrick
