dont be hard on yourself mate - it is a very very hard job to lead a side and you didnt have a lot of time.
As usual everything went very fast during the missions and thats the toughest thing - to keep track and to make changes in planning if and when needed , add to this the fact you are flying and engaging bandits yourself and its a tough balancing act.
the main thing is that people had fun - which we did-and we all look forward to the next encounter.

interesting development from UBIZOO-

hope this works then we could maybe get a DD server running co-ops automatically
Top student, eh? Does that mean he gets to keep his Corsair? You flew a Corsair, right Pook? I think that a DD gong is in order, and drinks are on Pook in the Mess! Congrats, man! Semper Fi!
done
I had 2 triumph bonnevilles
the first one I bought I turned into a cafe racer with clip ons - rear sets and painted black with gold pin stripes- chromed everything I could and fitted open mega with K&N filters- it was a dog I spent 3 years wages on it - it was always in the bike shop getting fixed- but I loved it to bits- I even bought a second one to keep me going when the first was off the road and for winter use- it lasted longer than the original - I got so pissed of with it always breaking down that I sold it for a honda vf500- that was a nice bike 500cc V four. kept the old bonnie for winter use - never let me down. I crashed my car and had to sell both bikes to buy a new one and I havnt had one since - still miss them sometimes but then too many friends have been hurt or killed that I wont get another one.
Id love to see your pics dubbo if you can find them mate. If I ever get my scanner working on my old pc Ill post pics of the bonnies
Knockhill racecourse had a vintage day today - had an excellent time - highlight was a spitfire flypast and display - apologies I just have a compact digital. The merlin engine was fired up and ran - oooooooooooooooooooo sweeeeeeeeet noise - it was from a beaufighter.
BIKES

SPitfire
I believe it is the work of a 5 year restoration project- Like you I hope that the way they have suspended her doesnt damage her in any way - pity they couldnt have taken it further and actually got her to fly again
I was at the kelvingrove museum today to see the spit they have suspended in the main gallery- it is a type XXI that flew for city on glasgow squadron at the end of the war
one for doubletap
and a portrait hanging in a gallery
Too many good squad nights but some in particular that I recall
vs sunflower- me in 109 , him in a yak , swooped and avoided and went round for what seemed like an hour swopping advantage but eventually ended in an honerable draw
flying with BG and someone else in 25lb spits vs 109K - I was lucky to escape a pass then went on to shoot down around 3 of them
me and freelancer in 109s one night with good teamwork- pictured here

anytime we play the TB3 "man-o-war " missions - I always end up pissin myself laughing
the D-Day night -never known 3 or more hours to go so quickly- highlight was the first map where red won by destroying last object -JUST as the last red plane was shot down - couldnt have been any closer
results to chicago - I have virgin.net as ISP
download 1849 upload 237
Iv just checked my ISP and I have a free upgrade option to 6mbps so Iv signed up for this - they need to check my line to make sur eits compatable but hopefully I get this soon
I have a slightly modified charvals profile - just a bit quicker if you want it just yell BG and Ill e-mail it to you , I found that as you get used to it I wanted faster reaction times to check 6
I find that since 4.04 its red that have the advantage - even after taking out the 25lb spit which drove a lot of the regulars off the server. I can fly and score with the spitfire IXe but as soon as I go blue I get hammered- I used to do well in a 109 but now it is too slow and has its chocolate engine that smokes with few hits back and I just cant get into 190s- they dont suit my style of flying -you have to use them to hit and run .
Just me I suppose but Im not enjoying dogfight servers as much as I used to, probably for the reasons all you guys have given but mainly because Im having REAL trouble spotting a/c which puts me at a huge disadvantage and Im heading to giving them up and sticking to co-ops.
yes after 3 deaths there is a 5 or 10 min ban - cant remember which.
a few more rules on this server
1) no externals- so take care when taxying and taking off
2)all icons are black - friendly show name of pilot at 500m - enemy show aircraft e.g. FW-190 at 500m
3) vulching is frowned upon but does go on sometimes
you can join any time mate- beware , they are very good- get on their comms and stay high and fast- check 6 mate- Ill be on there myself later on tonight around 2100 hrs might see you then
