Fullofit - So Rudi is officially the Kaiser of the Kanones at the moment, good stuff. I bet MvR will be straining to the limit to get the lead back. A quiet mission for him there though but in the current weather, that's no bad thing.

NR - So Cunningham is on his way back to his squadron, good stuff. I just hope the weather doesn't wash away any hopes of him flying right away.

Carrick - I think that's what the next couple of days have in store for us all. Nice link btw, Clash of the Titans eh, takes me back that does.

Epower - Another fine ground pounding mission for your chap there and well done on the confirmed kill, 130 now jeez. Seems like your dressing down of McBride did the trick.

Lou, MFair et al - Jacob nearly didn't live to receive his bling as you shall see.


"A great deal of an aeroplane could be holed without affecting its ability to fly. Wings and fuselage could be—and often were—pierced in 50 places, missing the occupants by inches (blissfully unaware of how close it had come until they returned to base). Then the sailmaker would carefully cover each hole with a square inch of Irish linen frayed at the edges and with a brushful of dope make our aircraft 'serviceable' again within an hour."
