S! You are still missed sir. A whiskey for our venerable patriarch!

Thanks to the VARP fellows for getting involved! I've allocated you all to Typhoons for an all Eastern Europe Escort! Hope that's ok, if anyone would like a Mossie please say and I'll do some swapping. Nage, Ovy & Arg0n I have given you flight lead status and you'll each have AI wingmen - it's important that you understand the taxi-to-takeoff parameters of Il-2 and make your way carefully to the southeast corner of the airfield in flights, in order. Watch out for the mischievous AI to avoid collisions - we'll need as many of you in the air as possible at the target area if you catch my drift! This of course means that Artie, I have moved you to a Mossie winging Sid. Hope that's acceptable.

Sweet! Thanks Ovy, any preference on the ride?

2000GMT all on comms and breifing 2030GMT mission start You chaps are UTC+2 I believe so 2200 and 2230 your local time. Could try for a half hour earlier start if thats better?

Certainly Colin, just make sure you don't crease 'em, he's very sartorially particular is our BluBear....

*BUMP* More volunteers needed chaps! Mosquito flights could do with filling up but also Tiffies need flight leaders at the very least! Pooka, you missed the last one of these, can I tempt you to join us Sunday? Artie me old china, I've given you the lead Typhoon flight. Means you'll be leading AI and having to wait a bit at mission start, is that ok?

Thanks Craig. Shadowplay indeed, thanks, don't know what possessed me to call it -cloud. Must be having one off my funny days. Only wish I had captured the whole shebang, but glad it caught the scissors finale. I'll be honest i thought my goose was well and truly cooked! Also chuckled when I saw that tracer narrowly miss me as I pulled out 0 feet - glad I never saw it at the time!

Well finally got around to experimenting with Shadowplay, and here it is: Enjoy!

Sounds awfully familiar. Methinks the DangerDogz Quartermaster's going to need a healthy stock of 109 wing tips at this rate!

One word of advice for takeoff. Elevator nose heavy trim. And plenty of forward stick. Learnt - hard way. She's a beastie. And nimble as ninja. The AI certainly gave me the right old run around as I went up against a 'Good' opponent offline in the Pony. 51s don't dogfight, I have discovered!

Any particular reason Bongo? And no i haven't kept up with the BoS forum.

This just fell on to my HD; what a fortuitous accident.

Updated the brief with provisional allocations chaps, More volunteers needed please! Offer goes out to the VARP boys too! And KG.26 Alpha - we may have some spots for you and one or more of your merry band of bomber boys. Get in now whilst the slots are open!
