Geweldig museum. Ik kwam er als kind vaak toen ik in de buurt van Brussel woonde. Vorig jaar een weekendje Brussel gedaan en natuurlijk wilde ik er weer eens heen. Er was haast niets veranderd sinds de jaren '80 🙂. Geweldig.
Behalve dan een modern stukje over WW2.

WOW. ! :-O
This place is the sort of museum you could spend endless days in and never see the same thing twice. Utterly fantastic. !
I Google Mapped this place and it is huge and beautiful in the way it is layed out.
Thank you many times over for all these images Gunther, I am sure you had a most jaw dropping time there and I thoroughly enjoyed the way you did some extreme close up of important detail.
Cheers and Salute. 👍 🙂

Well Kerry, I know the place very well as my dad used to work there, so my jaw didn't drop for the planes, more for the amount of dust, bird(pigeon)droppings on the planes (check the white glider hanging on the ceiling) and the state some of the planes are in.
A lot of the planes are in a dangerously state of decay, although it isn't that visible.
Most of the planes have flatten tires, therefor having the weight of the plane crushing the rims. The Dakota, which was the transport plane for our King at the time, has a complete demolished interior. The seats covers are broken, cabinets falling apart, etc...
if you take into account that almost all the WWI planes are originals ones... then you know that it is the upmost importance to keep them safe for the future...
For me, and for a lot of other Belgian enthousiasts, the musuem is to small to have the planes displayed in a nice way. If I would take other musea in the bourdering countries as a reference, than the Brussels Air Museum is the worst.
Also the tank division, which is now already in its fourth year of "restoration" is a shame. Some of the tanks are no more that "plant pots", lacking the interior, the engine or even exterior equipment.
All this is due to the fact that the museum is not allowed to have an entrance fee as it is "supported" by the Belgian DoD. Years and years of miss management resulted in having daggers, paintings (some of 50mx50m dimension) and even tanks and planes being lost!! Lost in the meaning of having them being provided to "some one" as temporary exhibit, but not knowing any more to who or to where..... Ans small items such as swords and daggers disappearing from the stock...
I praise the volunteers for their efforts, but they have to battle years and years against people lacking vision and sometimes even the intrest in the exhibits.

That is a national disgrace Gunther, and a poor way of remembering all those brave people.
It really saddens me to know that. 🙁
Our war memorial in Canberra is the Gem in our history, and it is looked after with a passion.
It is now an "Interactive" museum where you can be parts of the noise and horror of war.
Thank you for that information mate. 🙂
