Promo Folder Air Bat Op 11 september 1917 verdween… de Franse luchtheld Georges Guynemer boven het front tussen Passendale en Poelkappelle. Twee weken later werd de Duitse ‘aas’ Werner Voss neergehaald op de Frezenberg. 1917 is het jaar van de grote heroïsche luchtduels met namen als McCudden, Fonck en von Richthofen. Voor het eerst krijgen de aanvallen van de infanterie op grote schaal ondersteuning vanuit de lucht. In het totaal kapotgeschoten landschap zijn vliegtuigen ook van cruciaal belang voor het leiden van de artillerie. De luchtfotografi e maakt een grote sprong voorwaarts en er wordt massaal gebombardeerd op aanvoerroutes. Sinds 1917 zijn steeds meer oorlogen beslecht door het overwicht in de lucht. 90 jaar later brengt het Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917 een unieke jaartentoonstelling met vliegtuigonderdelen, bewapening en uniformen van de vliegeniers, schitterende maquettes van toestellen en vliegvelden en nooit vertoonde beelden van de luchtoorlog. Tijdens het museumweekend van 22 en 23 april wordt deze ‘Air Battle 1917’ opnieuw tot leven gebracht door 150 re-enactors uit zeven landen. Er zijn ook battlefi eld tours, een colloquium en een unieke live performance van een fi lmklassieker uit MUSEUMWEEKEND 1927. Kortom een niet te missen weekend voor al wie interesse heeft in militaire luchtvaart en de Eerste Wereldoorlog. 22-23 APRIL 2006 Info & reservaties - Info & reservations On September 11, 1917 the French fl ying… Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917 hero Georges Guynemer disappeared above the front somewhere between Ieperstraat 5 Passchendaele and Poelcapelle.

For Tel. +32 51 77 04 41 the fi rst time the infantry attacks get massive air support. In the completely [email protected] devastated landscape, aircraft play a crucial role in directing the artillery. Air photography made a big leap forward, and supply routes are bombed heavily. Rek. 068-2400860-40 – IBAN BE02 0682 4008 6040 – BIC GKCCBEBB Since 1917 more and more battles were settled as a result of air supremacy. Ninety years later the Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917 sets up a unique year exhibition with aircraft spare parts, weaponry, pilot uniforms, superb scale models of aircraft and airfi elds, and images of air battles never shown Koninklijk Legermuseum Brussel before.

  • Achiet-Le-Grand Is a Small French Village Located Close to the Main Arras to Bapaume Rd
    Achiet-le-Grand Commonwealth War Grave Cemetery Having read Mike O’Connor’s books ‘Airfields & Airmen of the Somme’ and ‘In the Footsteps of the Red Baron’ published with Norman Franks, my wife and I decided to visit the Somme battlefields and some of the areas mentioned in the books in 2005. I then started looking at the possibility of trying to research all the airmen that were buried in one of the cemeteries. The Commonwealth War Grave Cemetery (CWGC) in Achiet-le-Grand became an obvious choice after the curators of the Ulster Tower Memorial on the Somme, Teddy and Phoebe Colligan introduced me to Phillippe Drouin who was the vice-president of the Somme Remembrance Association and was himself working on a history of Achiet-le-Grand during W.W.1. Achiet-le-Grand is a small French village located close to the main Arras to Bapaume Rd. (N17). The Commonwealth War Grave Cemetery (CWGC) is well sign posted and easy to find. As with all CWGC’s that we visited they are all very well looked after, beautiful if not sad places to visit. Achiet-le-Grand Communal Cemetery contains 4 W.W.1 burials and the Achiet-le-Grand Communal Cemetery Extension contains 1424 Commonwealth burials and 42 German war graves. Of the 1424 Commonwealth burials, 200 of them are ‘known unto God’. Achiet-le-Grand train station was an allied railhead and the 45th and 49th Casualty Clearing Stations were based here. The village changed hands a number of times during the war being finally liberated during August 1918.

Because of the engine power limitations , effective payload were extremely small. Still constructed mostly of hardwood (braced with steel wires) and with linen fabric stiffened by flammable dope to form a wing surface. Aside from these primitive materials, the rudimentary aviation engineering of the time meant most aircraft were structurally fragile , and not infrequently broke up in flight especially when performing violent combat maneuvers such as pulling up from steep dives. But as early as 1909, these evolving flying machines were recognized to be not just toys, but weapons.

  • Going West Audition Pack
    Going West by Tim Davies Director Sarah Bawler 1917; six young men from vastly different backgrounds - William ‘Billy’ Bishop from Canada, Edward ‘Mick’ Mannock from Ireland, James McCudden (Anglo-Irish), and Albert Ball, William Bond and Arthur Rhys-Davids (all English) - join the Royal Flying Corps to fight the Germans in the air. All full of brio, optimism and youthful courage, the play follows their progress via the memoirs and dia- ries that they keep, the letters they write home, and the response they get from their loved ones. Though they didn’t all serve in the same squadron at the same time, they all knew, or knew of, each other (for instance, Ball, McCudden and Rhys-Davids were all in 56 sqdn at the same time for a period, McCudden was Mannock’s fighter-instructor in England, and Mannock was known to Bond and Bishop since Mannock took over 85 sqdn from Bishop), so they are presented as all being together for dramatic purposes. The climax of the play is a battle between 56 sqdn and the lone German ace Werner Voss, who was universally admired by the men he fought. Very little is made-up; almost everything in the play happened as described and is based on their own recorded experienc- es and memories, often written down just after the events they describe while their aero-engines were still clinking as they cooled down. The only inventions are for ‘linking’ purposes. Performance Dates: St John’s Church, Canton, Cardiff. Rehearsal day/s in space to be arranged with cast Thursday 18th October – tech/dress 11:30am to 3pm, 6pm to 10pm Performances Friday 19th October to Saturday 20th 2018 (inc.
