MVR's coffin

Weekend 22-23 April starts in Zonnebeke (Belgium) near Passchendaele an extraordinary exhibition on the Airbattle 1917 in flanders (till 11 November). Even a piece of the plane of MVR and a piece of his coffin is in the showroom.
Very nice scale models .

Part of His Triplane?

Dear Roser what part of the plane was displayed? Was it recognizable as a component or something like a fabric swatch? Was there any authentication provided? Thanks for the heads up. VR, Roadhog "Memento mori."

Damn, interesting! Where exactly? I haven't heard of it, is it kind off big? Any persons here going? Zonnebeke is a few hours of travelling by train for me ...
