RIP Beautiful piece of music.

Certainly was chaps! Well done on our first SOW3 sortie.

If I can afford it, i'll probably go on the Saturday. The Frenchies have been more entertaining that the Reds in recent years (in my opinion) and i'm probably flying out to Barca on Sunday so that stumps that.

For those interested, Elliot Marsh from Global Aviation Resource has started to compile an extensive series of articles delving into the history of the Old Flying Machine Company and the key figures of Ray and Mark Hanna. Part one is now available to read here and features some great photos from the archives as well: http://www.globalaviationresource.com/v2/2016/03/07/the-old-flying-machine-company-pt-1-the-founding-father-son/ Looking forward to Part 2 already 'SPITFIRE MK.IX MH434 FROM THE COCKPIT'

Thanks for the feedback mate, actually I think mine's a Gigabyte iirc... And yes thanks, we will indeed take you up on that offer! Meant to mention earlier

Hi chaps, bumping this discussion to get a better idea of what parts the old man can start purchasing. Been looking into CPUs a bit more and taking on the advice that the newest socket will of course be best, how does the following look? http://www.ebuyer.com/718336-intel-core-i5-6600k-3-5ghz-socket-1151-6mb-l3-cache-retail-boxed-processor-bx80662i56600k No HS + fan but that's fine because we'd be spec'ing an after-market solution anyway. Just need to settle on a decent compatible mobo. Any suggestions?

Thanks for all that you do Rog! All sounds good to me.

Ok sure, it that case I may wait for a bit. They sure look pretty though.

Woah, yes! I think i'll be downloading these tonight! Thanks OverD

She is quite something isn't she...

Awesome! Want it.

Thanks for the advice gentlemen, most appreciated! I should be on tomorrow evening for fliegening anyway Nick, if you're about? Subject to your Car having the appropriate medication Replacement EGR valve - Garage wanted £300! Parts have cost just under £70!

Morning Gents! I've been trying to find an opportunity to chat to some of you about a new rig build on comms, but it's been a bit busy lately and by the time co-ops start fizzling out i've clean forgotten about mentioning it! I'm sure the old man won't mind me posting this here on his behalf. Long and short of it is, now the Tiger Moth is done, the next project at long last is a brand spanking new rig to run everything we fly. The way it'll be funded means, he'd like to amass the components steadily throughout the year with the ultimate aim of it being ready to run by next winter. It needs to be relatively future proof but not break-the-bank expensive, it needs to run DCS and CloD comfortably with a high graphics setting. (I imagine that would include an Nvidia 980 GPU or equivalent when the time comes?) First on the list that can be purchased almost immediately, would be CPU+Mobo. I see things have moved on somewhat since I built my 'new' rig two years ago, but the i5 is still the way to go right? I've found this combo on ebuyer: Intel Core i5 4690K 3.5GHz Socket 1150 6MB L3 Cache Retail Boxed Processor 645547 £189.99 MSI Z97 GAMING 3 Socket 1150 VGA DVI HDMI DisplayPort 7.1 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard 641278 £95.99 Total: £285.98 Open to suggestions / direction Thanks in advance Dogz!

How dare they! Thanks for the heads up Arther

Yes I particularly enjoyed that! Colour footage like this always amazes me, it really makes the events of the era feel more real and recent.

Some fantastic colour footage here chaps. Really like the Hurricane colour schemes in the open minutes, I feel a co-op mission set being built around it... I've not yet sat through the whole 40+ minutes, but it was enough to make want to post it here for sure.

Yes, count me in! Happy B-day DDz forum!

Sadly, another pilot and their passenger did not have as much luck yesterday. https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=184260 This was the 'other' Big Beautiful Doll flying in the states. Not a great start to the aviation year already...
