Administrators JeroenPeters Posted May 3, 2015 Administrators Share Posted May 3, 2015 Visited the Army Museum in Brussels today with Cees Broere after the Moveleo Model Force show in Helchteren. Seems like nothing ever changes here which is both good and bad i guess. Lots of remnants of Belgium's colonial past and Waterloo: Anenometer: Airplane hall: Some close ups of their Mosquito: Fairey Battle: Beuatiful Blenheim (covered in dust and paint fallen from the arches): Hurry: Fw190 prop/spinner. Check out the handpainted swirl: Brisfit: Wotan logo on Gotha prop: Halberstadt at start of restoration: Lozenge anyone? LVG restoration: Camel: Nieuport 23: Ju88 Jumo engine on service mount: F-84: Spit MkXIV: The museum has free entrance AND they sell beer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators James H Posted May 3, 2015 Administrators Share Posted May 3, 2015 How the hell did I miss seeing this when I visited Brussels? Looks a great place. Must pencil into a visit in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjaminsummerfield Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Looks amazing, always better when they're untouched like the day they were wheeled in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DannyVM Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Very nice pic's Jeroen, and thank's for sharing them. always better when they're untouched Untouched isn't the best word for some of those planes. Some planes where very un-proffesionell restored, like the Fairy Battle for example. Everytime i see new photo's of the museum, something is moved or removed, but still, with the same dirty, dusty and cluttered look. It's sad to see, because they have a unique collection in theire hands, and still they just don't have a clue what to do with it.

Ssasho0 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Great museum and entrance is free, which is additional + into my eyes I was there 2 years ago, but had just 2 hours and I spent them taking pictures of the RE.8 and Bristol fighter, untill my camera died. So if someone is interested into detail pictures of those 2 let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingco57 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 It was a great day but indeed the exhibits had sort of an elephant's graveyard feel. But the collection Has a lot of Unique types on show. The Mossie NFXXX is an example. Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
