 ASA volunteers
are spending some of their spare time at the Stampe & Vertongen
Museum. Apart from organising the interior, archiving and decorating,
maintaining and cleaning, they also work on the restoration projects and
do the ground support at the yearly Antwerp Stampe Fly In.
In 2003 the reorganisation
and decoration of the workplace 'den atelier' in 1930's style, was
finished. In 2010 a new 'Jean Stampe' arrived impersonating Jean in his
office, thus completing the Stampe office. The 'atelier' itself
is now used for the restoration
projects: a WACO bi-plane is being restored and SV4 V28 - on lease from
the Brussels Air Museum is awaiting further planning.
Besides
showing planes and telling their histories, the museum also uses photographic and other
didactic material for telling you the history of aviation in Antwerp,
its airport and its aircraft factory: Stampe and Vertongen.
If you have any material (pictures,
film, drawings, texts, ...) that you think might be of use to us, do not
hesitate to contact us.
You never know, it might be
the missing link we have been looking for...
Of course, all material will
be returned to the owner if he so wishes. |

The Stampe en Vertongen museum
is a private initiative, run by people who have a warm hart for aviation
and aeroplanes. The museum does not get any subsidies and relies on
visitors for its income. Needless to say that this income is not at all
sufficient.
However the 'Koning Boudewijn
Stichting' favours our venture. All donations of over 40 euro can be
brought in on your tax declaration. (art.104WIB).
Donations can be made on the account of the Koning
Boudewijnstichting 000-0000004-04 mentioning "L80929 - Antwerp Stampe
Center".
So, if you favour our museum
and would like to contribute financially to our projects, this is the way
to do it and both parties get something out of it. Your aid will be
gratefully accepted.
