I will be at Blois 2012

If you want to see the engine live or just meet me live for a chat I will be at Blois this weekend (if the weather forecast don’t change dramatically).

I expect to arrive just after lunch Saturday1st and leave around lunch Sunday 2nd. 
Just send me a mail (fred.stork @ orange.fr without the spaces…) and I’ll send you my mobile phone number so that we can meet. 

What, holiday pictures..!?

What is this? This site is supposed to be about the Simonini Victor 2 experience and now… pictures from Fred’s holiday!?! We spent 2 weeks in New York this summer and took the opportunity to drive down to Washington for 2 days. Yes, The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. Both sites, in the city and out at the airport. It was amazing and I just cannot resist sharing a few highlights from the history and progression of flight with you…

A 1894 glider from Otto Lilienthal’s workshop 

The real Wright Brothers Flyer that they flew with 1903
(the fabric covering has, obviously, been replaced)

The Spirit of St Louis...

Amelia's Vega...

The most beautiful and mythic of all passenger planes, the DC3…

Chuck Yeager's Bell X-1...

Flying cars straight out of someone’s dream

All the way through the space age with the Mercury and Apollo programs to...

Discovery who just returned from the last flight...

And I could go on until I run out of space on the server…
