<p>In November 1908, wealthy aviation enthusiast Baron Pierre de Carters made the first controlled flight over Belgium. His aircraft was a Voisin built biplane, fitted with a Belgian engine. He later went on to fly at ‘Air Shows’ in Istanbul, Cairo and India.
This replica was built in France in 1973 for the TV movie “Les faucheurs de marguerites” (“The Daisy Cutters”). The remains were later acquired from the Jean Salis collection were rebuilt to more accurately represent the 1908 ‘de Caters’ machine. This was completed in October 2008, just in time for the centenary of the original 1908 flight. 
The aeroplane remains on display at what is known as the Brussels Air Museum, although it is actually the Air and Space Section of the Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and Military History.
Brussels, Belgium.
