Raversijde 1960-1975

In the sixties many childeren stayed in Raversijde.

Home 'morgenster' was one of the many boarding houses in Raversijde for children.

This banquet room was situated along the road to Nieuwpoort and can still be recognised as shown on the picture.
Nowadays the activities as a banquet room are stopped.
In this period the activities of the airport at Raversijde grew rapidly !
Many airplanes made an intermediate landing at Raversijde on their way to Britain.
