PILOTS BRIEFING Please arrange to fly in and land your plane from 18:00 dogz time. Select the northern most airbase. This is an Air start. Turn 180 and Duxford should be on your nose. Land on runway heading 24. There are 2 available runways. At the end of the runway follow the double red markers to your right and park up along the flight line. You will be instructed to make your way to the take off area at the suitable time. For pilots wishing to start their display via an air start, at the appropriate time, pick your plane from the same northern airbase and make your way to either the northern or southern holding area as per instructions. There will be NO ICONS to facilitate anyone who wants to record the event. I have had a request to leave them on, so they will be on but you may turn them off on your settings if you wish (its in the control settings screen) (Map icons will be on for your plane only) COMMS Main Lobby for all general talk Allied Room for ATC when landing and taking off and holding. Also Solo displays. Axis Room (if you wish) when doing your display if in a pair so that you can concentrate. VISITORS BRIEFING Please pick a plane from the southern base. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE OFF. Via the static camera switch to the view set up at Duxford to watch the show. MORE PILOTS STILL NEEDED - ANY TAKERS FOR AN OPENING SPITFIRE SCRAMBLE? THOSE THAT ARE FLYING PLEASE PM ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO THAT I CAN PUT A RUNNING ORDER TOGETHER

Ok chaps, "Dogsford" is this Sunday (for those that dont know, and where HAVE you been?, its our attempt at Flying Legends) I need to know who will be flying, in what and whether you require an air start or not. Also any special requirements I am proposing to run the map with NO ZUTI and NO ICONS. Please add your details here....

Yes, I have canceled FT so we are now Bedless... I plan on staying Friday and Saturday nights......already booked Friday off work........

Ok, I have just canceled my room (at no cost to me) and am therefore Bedless.... I would prefer to have a hotel rather than under canvas as I think it would be better for the socializing. I think JP's offer is a very generous one and one which we should go with. I propose, we keep this open till Tuesday of next week to get the names and then we book it. It will mean an early start on saturday morning to avoid the traffic but that is a small price to pay for good company. Tell any dog you know that does not come by the boards much that they need to put their name forward NOW...... Salute Friar

They should'nt have charged our cards Crash, so I think we can cancel and not have lost any money. I did ask if my card would be charged and they said no. I will try and call them tomorrow and ask about a block booking at my rate and see what they say, but I suspect it will be no. If they do say no, then, I think I will cancel my booking. That is going to leave us with a problem though as I think as soon as FL dates come out places get booked. Who fancies getting a large tent and camping,... Just think of the atmosphere, sitting round a camp fire, singing songs, telling stories.drinking beers........

The refurbishment of the Red Lion is starting in a few weeks and not expected to be finished till March. The guy I spoke to was not sure how many rooms they would have after the re-fit. I would expect their prices to go up as well, but surely not to those heights! I am inclined to think that the Holiday Inn is taking the piss and that we should come up with another plan

I know! This is really going to affect our trip I feel this year. I am looking around at other B&b's but they already seem to be un available. Hay Zooly, are you sure you can only get 2 in that caravan?

Nice idea Roger, Like it.......

geez Crash.....I need to make a phone call tonight to confirm. If I get it for the rate they said I'll let you know. Well............... I have just come off the phone to the hotel. Not long after I made my booking on Saturday, apparently, following some comments from some other guests who were checking out from having stayed for another show, about them wanting to book for Flying Legends the owners decided to put up the prices. The room rates ARE £145 per night ............ We need to make a quick decision on this guys..... Do we try and find another hotel / B&B, if we do we need to move quick and block book rooms. (oh, and not wanting to upset anyone but I got my room BEFORE the rates went up!, so my original post WAS correct at time of going to press....Sorry.)

Crash, Did you call the hotel direct on the number I put up?

Oooh, arn't I the popular one, FT and Fruitbat. As FT did post first, if he still wants, I would happily share. What more could a roomy ask for, new hotel, good company,.....and laptop always available......... I forgot to mention, I have booked Friday and Saturday nights, does that suit you FT? Cheers Friar

Heads Up Guys !! I have spoken to the Red Lion tonight and they are about to start refurbishment and will not know about rooms till march.... I have just booked a twin at the Holiday Inn Express. (It opened last monday!) Any one want to share?... The phone number is 01223 497 070 ( i spoke to a very nice girl called Laura (she sounded like she was getting training as well!)) Room rates are; No singles; Twin and Double £85 per night. They take card details but don't charge it until you stay Come on guys....get in there...... Some one start the clock.....

IF I DO NOT GET PILOTS SIGNING UP FOR THIS I WILL HAVE TO CANCEL.........

For those of you that know (and for those of you that dont, on 24th October the Dangerdogz will be holding our own Flying Legends Airshow. This display will take place on the Duxford map. Would those that are flying in the display please let me know what you will be flying in. If you want to keep it a secret please let me know by PM but I would like to start putting a schedule together. Note. I have extended the display time to between 10 and 15 minutes each. (If you require a bit more time, thats ok, I will not be shooting people down for over running!, although we dont need to see the same plane flying past over and over and over again.....) If you would rather beigin your display with an air start, please also let me know. For those not wishing to take a flying part, there will be an airfield to spawn into and then a camera to which to watch the display from. Preliminary Pilots Briefing These are my intended rules for the day (I am putting them out there now in case I have missed something) Comms - I intend to use the Main Lobby for spectators and for pilots not yet taking part. I intend to use the Allied Room for ATC. Pilots will be requested to move to this channel to receive take off/landing and holding instructions. I intend to use the Axix Rom for the pilots who are doing the current display (this to avoid any congestion on comms, they will obviously need silence and concentration). Fly In - Please arrive at the airfield in good time and park up on the flight line. Display - There will be 2 holding areas "North" and "South". Pilots will be dispatched to these areas ahead of their display. When you finish you display you will land and taxi past the crowd (you may move to the Main lobby comms for this if you wish) I will post more specific details as we progress towards the event...... Cheers Friar

An excellent post JP. I agree with a lot of what is in that post. We are forever being encouraged to understand the Muslim way. My kids have had to do projects on it at school. I would like to know if kids sorry, boys (arnt girls restricted on what they can lean?) in muslim schools ever do projects on understanding Christian ways? I doubt it.

Hi Guys, You will need to update your Teamspeak client to the latest version.....

What do they say.?..Pride comes before a fall.... Capoeira_Fighter.wmv
