Wearing the holly leaf badge of the 3rd Escadrille which flew the Strutter from Les Moëres until it was replaced by the Breguet 14 in 1918. The correct serial of this aircraft is thought to be S-88 with the construction number quoted as 66.

The Farman MF.11 was called Shorthorn by the British, lacking the long skids with forward elevator of the MF.7 Longhorn. A British naval MF.11 flew the first bombing mission of World War I near Ostend on 21 December 1914. There is little information about this machine in Brussels, but it appears to be authentic.

I turned up at the Museum on a day that it was closed but was kindly allowed access and the freedom of the place, including away from the public areas. I was told that this 1st World War aircraft, totally unrestored had been found in a barn just a few months earlier. Not the best of photographs, being rather contre-jour, but hopefully one that people will want to see. It looked better somehow than if it had been restored.

Actual RCAF serial, 9895. Although wearing Canadian serial 10038, the aircraft is otherwise painted as RAF Blenheim Mk.IV L9416 of No 139 Sqn. Based at Plivot in France, L9416 was shot down by Bf 109s during a mission against a German column on the Maastricht - Tongeren road on 12 May 1940. The crew survived.

The Nie 17 / Nie 23 was a major Allied fighter of the Great War, and towards the end of 1916 the Nie 17 equipped every French fighter squadron. One of the gems in the Brussels Air Museum, this Belgian example appears to be the only original survivor worldwide.

How the Sopwith F.1 looks like a camel was always lost on me, but it's just about the metal fairing fitted over the machine gun breeches to protect the guns from freezing at altitude. Original WWI aircraft in the Brussels Air Museum.
