Brussels Expo 1958

Philatelic Website

6-7 September 1958

This World Championship of model-aviation was organised by the FAI (Federation Aeronautique Internationale) and the Aero Club Belge. Both organisations still exist today.

Information received from FAI:

The FAI World Control Line Aeromodelling Championships was held in Belgium in 1958. Class F2A, F2B and F2C were held.

  • F2A: 38 competitors
  • F2B: 38 competitors
  • F2C: 36 competitors

13 nations were represented.
