Aërofil

The Belgian Aerophilatelic Society Aërofil was founded in 1962 to unite Dutch-speaking aerophilatelists in Belgium, Holland and in the World.

Aerofil publishes a magazine on aerophilately, five times a year and published by Reina Beekman. Aerofil also organises aerophilatelic exhibitions and promotes aerophilately worldwide with some very nice (Gold Awarded) exhibits.
