Its 6 months since Amber died and we have now got another rescue Retriever called Rosie

Solid turnout last night chaps. Thanks to @fruitbat, @DD_Fenrir, @BluBear, @PapaBear, @wingflyr, @Zukker, @delta7 and a guest appearance from @Crash along with myself of course. Everyone was able to chip in and make a solid contribution and play their part in the advancement of the campaign. We continue to make good ground managing to take an another airport and FARP in our new drive back to the east. A strong showing by the F16 is starting to show benefits of good team work to attack targets with excellent aircover provided by the F14. Well done chaps.

@wingflyr You were missed last night Sir. Thank you for the heads up but it all went ok. I had uploaded the very latest version and enabled the splash feature as you suggested. It turned out to be too effective and the guys have requested I turn it off for next time. Other than that it all went ok with the usual smooth performance. The mission started just before dawn but with a small weather front that has moved in with light rain / snow showers in places across the map. Excellent work by myself (well I would say that) @delta7, @fruitbat, @BluBear, @DD_Fenrir and @PapaBear meant by the end of the night we had managed to make more good progress despite some stubborn SAM defences that kept getting repaired. Hopefully we will see a few more faces we are missing and would very much like to have join us next week ( @Squee7e, @Zukker, @Crash, @Squawk, @wingflyr of course) Salute Friar

I'm not that lucid even now....

Done!

With the campaign now completed, here are the final scores

I got close, but no ceegar. you can thank DD_Perfesser for the awesome defense of your flag. I lost the gun vs gun duel this time. Considering how our last session went I am pretty sure I was owed one... Another great defensive session on your part guys. 🫡 Wheels

Holy carp that last tank battle during our session earlier was epic. I really thought you were going to hold the ground. Imo, your tactics and team cohesion are getting tougher and tougher for us to counter. Hopefully by the next session my heart rate has dropped back down to normal. 🙃 Wheels

@BluBear @Friar @Zukker @wingflyr @DD_Sheriff @fruitbat @Ben griffiths @Perfesser Unfortunately, due to issues with the recent bug ED introduced with vast swathes of scenery going up in flames with even a single 500lb bomb hit, I am obliged to postpone this event until there is a fix; the prison is getting nuked with even just one Mosquito-load of bombs. I am as disappointed as you, but we are ready to go live as soon as the issue is fixed.

Assuming i can fly it by then, mossie fir me

Not yet, but soon! Fantastic progress being made in NZ on behalf of the Biggin Hill team. I can't wait to see this: https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FBigginHillHeritageHangar%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0ojqpHHQkdCp5tGkT7an4ju9rRzaXWAVFVQxR37MnN42zNZA5VfTBSHn75RTVQvUgl&

Blimey.... Had a request from someone on the main BoX forum for the 'files' to make one. Wonder where they found out about it but it's nice it's being looked at.

Hey Friar, Zukker is slowly improving with some movement in his legs allowing walking exercises. His right arm he can't lift up, left arm has movement and can raise higher. He has some function as he surprised us by coming on Discord the other night sounding chipper and determined to work hard, and with time get back to flying with us. It amazes us how friendly and close we all become toward each other, even over the net miles miles away. Stay safe and Healthy my Friends. Wingy

Just my thoughts.

Our theme has caused an issue with the forums, have defaulted to this for now until I have sacrifice a few thousand brain cells on working out what the actual problem is!

Mass fly past

Oh, there's also Borough Market next to London Bridge Station - lots of good grub available there!

Hey Hunter, On a recent trip to the capital I had a delightful meal at https://megans.co.uk/ - it's mediterranean, so not exactly local, but delicious food nonetheless. There's a few dotted around London, not exactly right next to any of the big places you mentioned but worth a diversion!

He's incredible isn't he. We Have Ways pod have interviewed him at least once. If I'm as lucid and youthful at age 75 without flying Mosquitos over Berlin, I'll be a happy chap.

Posted just now Ok guys, I wrote these lyrics back in 2007, and thanks to AI, I was able to create something with them. Hope you old farts enjoy it, and you up and comers get a kick out of it too.

@Zukker @wingflyr @Ben griffiths @Perfesser @APHill Fruitbat has been forced to retire due to a suspected PSU fault. @BluBear You have been moved to lead yellow section of the 1st Wave @DD_Sheriff You will now be in the no. 3 position of the 2nd Wave Yellow sction with Wingy & Zuk. No 3rd wave any more. New Provisional Order of Battle for the 1st March 2026 Event:

@BluBear @Friar @Zukker @wingflyr @DD_Sheriff @fruitbat @Ben griffiths @Perfesser @APHill With no hotfix patch drop today, we're going to assume that there won't be one this week. As such I will provide a modded weapons.lua file on Friday evening, with instructions as to where you will need to install it. PLEASE NOTE: I have a dedicated Discord server for hosting the briefing and any additional skins/resources required for the mission; if you are not already a member please join here: https://discord.gg/CXK79Cff Please ensure you have joined prior to the event.

Hi Fenn, I am a definate starter. You cant possibly go without an Aussie. Mossie in any position you wish to place me ... cheers and best,

@BluBear @fruitbat @Friar @wingflyr @Zukker Any of you boys feel brave enough to fly Red One of the 1st Wave? I'm concious of the fact that up till now it's always been me and want to give someone else an opportunity to lead...

I am in for a Mossie. Zukker

I would go for a P-51 please

Mossie with bells on please sir!

I had my first go at using the CARPs feature of the C130 (automated cargo dropping) this evening. Very pleased with myself as you can see from the shot below. Drop zone marked in red and manged to get 2 out of the 3 in plus one very close.

Salute With it being too cold and wet for Pickle ball this evening I have decided to take a further look into the new cargo functionality. This evening I have.... Loaded up a CH47 with the contents of a FARP. Flew to a location and unloaded to have a FARP location be spawned in. Returned to base and loaded up with jet fuel and Hell fires then returned to the FARP which previously had zero stores. Unloaded and checked the stores to find it now had a stock of jet fuel and Hellfires Returned to base and despawned to come back in aboard an Apache. Spawned in empty with only 20% fuel Took off to the new FARP and landed and was able to re-arm with hellfires (which were removed from the stock of the FARP) and also refuel (with the volume also being removed from the FARP). Returned to base and respawned in a Huey (yes Huey's can now cargo like the others) Loaded up some Aim 120's, too many in fact as I could not get off the ground threw some out and tried again. Went to the FARP and dropped off my load (no laughing at the back) Ideas for missions please?

Hello chaps I would like to propose we hold off starting the next campaign until the Herc has been released (which should be very soon) and has been updated into the Campaign logic. If this gets pushed back by a chunk then we will start it regardless in a few weeks and update when appropriate.

Driver/Pilot could stream video via Discord maybe?

@BluBear - How would you like to structure your repayments under the new "Making our pilots accountable" policy?

Mmmmmmm, MiG 29 🥰

Marvellous. It'll be great to see you old bean! Shame you can't make it Crash. Going for the whole weekend was a last minute decision this time, but some of us have been going on and off to this one several years running now for day visits. I think with Flying Legends and Sywell now sadly events of the past, perhaps this could be the candidate to replace it next year for a properly planned Dogz weekend. RIAT is expensive and doesn't offer the level of warbird fix, Duxford is also more centrally located.

Sidley will be there on Saturday 🙂 No car parking left so I will be coming on the Guzzi 😎

I have just booked along with Mrs Friar. See you there chaps!

Some sight seeing screenies from a flight looking at the new Afghanistan map update (Aug 25) with @Friar

UPDATE 7TH AUGUST 2025 More good ground achieved with thanks to @DD_Fenrir, @fruitbat and @BluBear. Fen kept the skies clear to enable Fruitbat and Blubear to go SAM hunting whilst I did the advance work on the next FARP. Capturing the airfield of Mineralnye proved challenging due to the protection of the Juliett SAM site. Please see the map below and also the current state of the scoring as of last night.

Despite reduced forces we still managed to gain ground and captured another FARP. Special for me as I think I had my first 1000 point night taking out the majority of a FARP (thanks to @BluBear for taking out the last two targets to enable it to then be captured), achieving a mission completed bonus and also doing some pilot CSAR.

apologies colin. I didnt see posts earlier, it is attached as photo

very useful for situational awareness and iff which im sure the awacs crews are eternally grateful for
