Welcome to aerobatic tractor club! One of my favourite modules for a bimble, throw about and inverted tree dodging. And the sounds are just fantastic, that is really what I think. By the way, which one's Pink? Oop, got carried away there, 'wishing I was there'. b'dum tisch.

I concur Crasherooney! In the meantime, i'd like to organise another Dogzford virtual dog air show, who's up for that? DCS or GBS?

Sadly, yet understandably, Flying Legends has just been cancelled for this year. 😔

Yeah, just skim around the subject why don't you old bean, still a bit vague...

Nein

Hah, very cool!

Great pictures chaps, many happy memories there. Thank you 😁

Bloody well said Tom.

Oh that sure is sad news. 😔 RIP Bill, it was a pleasure to fly with you sir!

RIP 46. But seriously, good idea.

Bravo sir! What a jolly good idea.

Hi chaps, I've been trying to update to the latest version on and off for a while now and it's driving me potty. I've followed most of the advice from the forum, AV and FW switched off, ports are open for launcher.exe as well as il-2.exe, running in admin mode etc. but it always hangs for about 5 mins on 0kb / 2Gb then throws up the failed to update message. Help?

Just wow!

I like the sound of this, I do miss taking part in an event of sorts. I think most of us have BOS, BOM and BOK now?

It is rather tasty and even limited to 4000rpm, managed to drown out the rest of us in the Duxford convoy on Saturday. Good for you Mr P!

Aircraft participation list quite a bit lower than previous years thus-far, with a distinct lack of European acts on the bill. I've heard rumours that the CAA have introduced new regulations that may be hindering this, which would be a damn shame. Also, looks like the Horsemen have pulled out according to the listings on their website. In much more positive news, the HAC De Havilland DH-9 has been added for it's airshow debut. The only airworthy WW1 bomber in the world with an equally unique power plant. Sweet! Not long now gents...

Particular yay to the 51 gear switches ?

Great, thanks all!

Looks like the significant stumbling blocks preventing these restorations taking to the air might finally be overcome! http://www.warbirdsonline.com.au/2019/06/10/beaufighter-engine-restoration-news/

I approve.

I'm tempted to go on Wednesday, just trying to see if I can wangle it with work!

There's plenty to see down in the South East as well for free or a reasonable fee, i'd recommend: The Kent Battle of Britain Museum at Hawkinge on the sight of the former RAF BofB airfield The nearby BofB memorial and 'Wing' experience at Capel le Ferne with a spectacular view out from the white cliffs Manston's Spitfire and Hurricane museum and neighbouring RAF History Museum Honourable mention to the de Havilland Museum in Hatfield, home of the Mosquito with three complete examples including the prototype. If you can stretch to it, a tour of the Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar is excellent, the most (airworthy) Spitfires under one roof in the world I think... There are quite a few other smaller museums and collections dotted around as well, Brenzett, Shoreham, Headcorn etc. Fenrir and I are Kent residents, so feel free to drop us a DM if you require any assistance!

Great article by Richard Grace here about flying "Nellie B" - splendid photographicals from Mr Dibbs too, as always. http://vintageaviationecho.com/p-47-thunderbolt-nellie/
