Special thanks to B. Ceulemans for some additions and corrections.

Photos are shown for non commercial purpose and were only put online to illustrate the rich and colorfull history of the Belgian register.
They were taken by:
- the webmaster and credited as "Skystef",
- shared by otherone's collection credited with their name,
- scanned from my slide or photo collection. Most of the Delta Air Transport slides came from G. Van Belleghem and his collection who passed away in 2018 and were made available by ASA Antwerp, but it's impossible to determine if the shots were taken by him or not. Another source came from F. Van de Plas his slide collection of Convairs & Douglas aircraft. If these slides / photo's carry the name of the photographer, it's credited such. In case of no name I will use "collection Skystef". However, if you recognize some picture(s) as yours, don't hesitate to contact me so I can give the proper credit.
