Save our Super Constellation !!

Post by Pierre_pappy »

Hi all,

I'm writing you from Nantes, France.
I am a member of the "Amicale du Super Constellation" association.
Since 2001, our association restore a L-1049 G (formerly a C version) Super Constellation, the F-BGNJ / F-BRAD (cn 4519 ).

Image

The restoration is pretty well achieved as you can see here : http://fbgnj.free.fr
The problem is that since august 2007, we no longer have access to the plane for some unbelievable reasons as it is explained (in english) in Ralph Pettersen 's website: http://www.conniesurvivors.com/1-connie_news.htm#JAN27

I decide to make a petition to ask the French Ministry of Culture to do something to help us while our Super Connie is classified as a Historical Monument.
If nobody do something, the risk is that our Connie may be distroyed one day!

If anybody want to help us finding a solution to our problem, you can sign that petition here:SIGN THE PETITION !

The only parts usefull you have to fill are:

Nom : Surname
Prénom : First Name (that one appears in the petition)
Nationalité : Nationality
Profession : work
Email
Commentaires : Commentary (facultative, only if you want to leave us a support message in english or french better ;-) )

After you sign, you will receive a Confirmation email from "MesOpinions.com" website asking you to validate your vote by cliking a link. (Don't forget to do that while the vote will not count if you don't do so)


You can send this message to anybody you know who will be interested in helping us or even you can post it on oder forums !

Thank you all !

Obviously, the French authorities didn`t notice that the cold war is over for quite a long time..
They should give access to this beautiful piece of French aviation history. What an amount of work
has been done already by these fellows, I´m amazed (but probably these military people don`t care about it).

Good luck to all of you.
