Damn, Aris - and they call that "medium" activity?
"Medium" like in: "I want my steak medium done?"

Congrats to your transfer, Shiloh!

TO ALL PILOTS
Remember: if your pilot should fall, please send your final data records to Jim.
Enlist a new feller only the next day, or later.
Otherwise the chart work might get confusing, okay?

Thanks Olham. Two-seaters aren't really my cup of tea and since I hadn't transferred before, I didn't know what the deal was. Maybe the RFC 10 officers wanted me to shoot someone down before they approved my transfer.

Flight Sub. Lieut. Charles Chatterly has reported for duty. Just to let everyone know ahead of time, I will tolerate no ill talk of my sister, Lady Chatterley, soiled dove though she is. I could not go through flying the BE again so figured the Strutter was for me. Looking over Olhams chart, there are some very fine pilots in this group. My cap is off to you all!

Flight Sub-lt Alex Ackworth - RNAS 4 - 22 June 1916

Mission today is recon over enemy units. 3 Strutters, I am n° 2.
After take off and before the dreaded turn and climb, I press shift-W. Miracle ! We skip this boring phase and head to the front. We are around 10.000 ft when we get there.
As we close on our target, my leader and the second wingman dive left towards some planes under us, probably Eindeckers on patrol. I decide not to be so stupid, and somebody has to take the bl**dy pictures anyway !
I keep flying straight to the enemy ground unit, make two passes to make sure we have the photos and head to Coudekerque, while my "would-be fighters" friends are engaged in combat.
I land back at home and the two other guys come in later with one damaged plane.

Olham, my pilot Aarik Bachmeier didn't show up on the chart.

MudWasp, in the chart I got from Jim, his values were all still on zero.
He will appear once he has started, okay?

I just passed the 15 hour mark, but came within an inch of being captured in the process. My Strutter was hit by an Eindecker while bombing a German airfield and heard my engine make a slight drop in tone. I know what that means so I headed for home ASAP and, as expected, my engine crapped out a few minutes later. I glided as far as I could and landed in the trenches. I was almost positive I was on the German side of the lines, but got a 'landed in friendly territory' result so guess I was saved by a British raiding party.

Reginald (my observer) has gone on 48 hour leave, so I guess he was pretty shook up by the incident.

Great event, Scout - and good to hear that you just made it!

Olham asked me yesterday to not produce the chart until 8pm which allowed his latest and mine and another to arrive. I then shut down my pc. This is 2pm Detroit time.

This morning Monday 23rd I find I have 9 new respondents. These are cptroyce, Shiloh (2), 77_Scout, Mfair (2), lederhosen, ArisFuser and Corsaire31. Some of these pilots are in the US and quite a few hours behind me here in SA.

Don't worry too much as you will all appear in the Wednesday results.

77_scout - your pilot is improperly dressed for a RNAS pilot! The Admiralty will be onto you soon

Jim, you can send me the new chart - I have some time to change it now.

Okay, one more - the updated chart from Monday, June 23:

Mfair's latest pilot Charles Chatterly is not there. And I have no data for JFM. Note we now have FIVE dead pilots.

Attempted to fly 23rd June 1916. 'A' flight has 6 aircraft but they want ME to patrol behind enemy lines on my own! NO WAY José! I have stayed alive so far by being a chicken and will continue to do so. No pilot in 1916 deliberately flew behind enemy lines on his own except Albert Ball. I tried the alternative mission but got the same one. Maybe I'll accept the mission and fly off somewhere else like Paris!

Thank you - corrected!


The "Fallen Pilots" chart will only show one (the best) fallen pilot for each player, Jim.

Salut

am I doing something wrong ... again?

I see 6.95hrs in both hotspot and quiet sections, when I'm sure I typed in medium.
let me know pls as I like this pilot.

danke

No, this was my fault.
Jim's records capture is looking different than my chart,
and everyone is in different lines too.

Corrected.

Exited WOFF and re-entered. This time I was in a flight of 4 which is more like it!

As the pilots are different A, B, C etc I think we should show ALL the dead pilots. Players can have innumerable pilots - Mfair is up to his C pilot now.

Was it incorrect of me to send in such info before I flew him? I did so to "register" him.

Apparantly the second survey with two sorties didn't make it to Jim, most likely a dial up problem caused at my end. No big deal, I'm grounded due to lack of planes until the 24th. Will send in another survey after flying again.

Sorry you did capture it and I missed it because I had a sudden flurry of responses. Your latest is Aarik Bachmeier who has 2 sorties in the Verdun sector 1.28 hours and 39 points. This will be shown on the Wednesday chart unless you do more sorties! Dangerous place, Verdun.
