Welcome to the pound Flyboy583!
Hope you know what you've let yourself in for?!
Seriously though, you'll fit right in here...
-
Aarrrrgh. Well shiver m'timbers! ARgh
-
Remembering 'the few' and all the men and women on the ground that kept them in the air during this day 71 years ago, and throughout the battle.
We salute you.

Welcome Joebob. You have to look very carefully to find a stranger bunch of guys than the dogz.
True words indeed.
Welcome JoeBob!

Fen will know this better, but I believe it's to do with the supercharger. The later griffons had two stage where as the early ones had single stage, thus making the length of the engine block shorter.

Ooo, a mk 7? Lovely
Mk 12 old boy!
First production griffon Spitfire, oh yeah! Short block griffon like the Seafire 17.

This was posted on the Keypublishing Forum from the leading Spitfire historian Peter Arnold today:
Spitfire XII EN224 - An announcementThe owners of Mk XII Spitfire EN224 have asked me to announce the rebuild contract for this historic aircraft has been given to Air Leasing Limited and upon completion will be flown from Bentwaters. The registration is being re-activated today.I am very excited at the prospect of seeing this early griffon Spitfire up where she belongs!
And I can think of at least one other Dog who will be salivating uncontrollably with this news...
Also, for those who are unaware who Air Leasing are:
Richard Grace wanting a new toy to follow in his late father's footsteps? Excellent.

Well, what a jolly good show!
Highlights for me were the F-15E, French Alpha Jet, Curtiss Hawks and of course the Spitfire Finale.
On top of that we were treated with simply perfect weather. Not too hot, just enough breeze (in the right direction), some puffy clouds and enough moisture in the air for the F-15 to display it's 'portable cloud' and 'creamers'!
If that wasn't enough, I got to share the experience with the Dogz! ~S~ Guys! (Nice to finally meet you Rog)
Also, I must add what charming families you all have!
They certainly appeared to enjoy themselves which was great.
Oh, and cracking pics Nick, top banana!

Different Aircraft old boy!
Up until now the only airworthy Mk I has been AR213, which we are all familiar with and is listed static tomorrow.
This example, P9374, has been under restoration for a while and is I believe the first of three more Mk I Spits to come out of Area 51 (Historic Flying Limited).
Another one recently departed DX on a trailer to another destination and I believe featured on some Monster Moves program or summat.
Exciting Spitfire times for sure!

Miss D apparently arrived at DX and will be static tomorrow. Also the newest MkI Spitfire off the production line test flew yesterday and may also be on static.

Click here to download September
Apologies for there not being an August.
However, I have just completed and uploaded this month's edition.

Latest and last participants list now online:
Saturday looks good, two Vampires added and the Patrouille de France!
Shame Miss D is Sunday only, but otherwise it looks like a reasonably balanced line-up. Just can't wait to see/feel/hear that Strike Eagle... Whooooosh!
-
Yes, Fenrir and I plan to be there too. Weather permitting of course! Us young dogz don't like getting our fur wet. ahem.
I'll make the bulk order for fish and chips now, so it's ready for us on the tank bank

Farewell Jim, 'till we meet again...

Hey Todd,
I have a slightly older version of fraps: 2.99.9 (8123) and I am running it on Win7 64bit.
I don't think i've tried capturing from a track in UP3 yet, but it works fine with stock 4.101.
Does it work for you on a stock install?

~S~ Chaps,
Thought you might find this article interesting, I certainly did!
It's Big Beautiful Doll pilot Rob Davies putting into words, the events of that Sunday evening at Flying Legends.
A true professional through and through:

When will it be ready Nick?
"Two Weeks... Be Sure"
Seriously, looking forward to seeing this, I have quite a soft spot for the 17.
I'm guessing you've decided on a colour scheme mate?
-
Why did he feel the need to repeat almost everything he said?
Oh that's right, because he's a colossal F*cktard!

I subscribed to this guy's channel, certainly makes for entertaining viewing!

Thanks for letting us know Pooka. It's nice to hear he's still got that gritty determination!
I can almost hear it now, he'll be having a go at us for being so damn soppy!
-
Jim, I've not known you even half as long as some of these other fine gentlemen. But the short time that I have and the banter that we've shared will stay with me. I can still hear your distinctive Scots-Canadian twang now as I type this in silence!
I'll never forget when I first saw a tartan painted spitfire, a man that flys dressed like that deserves the utmost respect indeed!
Thank you for bringing so many of us like minded and equally crazy people together.
The DangerDogz to me, like so many others, is more than just an online flightsim squad, it's a bloody institution.
Blairgowrie, I salute you!

This discussion is all rather interesting for me, also looking at building a fresh gaming rig on a similar budget.
Kudos to you Dogz for being helpful as always!
