Meanwhile Flight Sub-Lieutenant Cyrus Gold does the same over northern Flanders with an added bonus of delivering eggs to the nearest enemy aerodrome. Mostly Ghistelles.

Banjoman, as always thanks for the report. Just a heads up: the C Sqn 1 Wing RNAS is now 3 RNAS. Cheers!

B flight went up to the lines and back. No Joy. I did spot 2 sets of dots on the E/a side and chased a high flying speck till it nose over and disappeared into Hun Land. I was thinking of transferring over to RNAS 10 Sqn. They seem to get in a lot of scraps with the enemy.

Hey Fullofit, how did you get those screenshots to post in your message? Did you use a photo sharing site?

Hey Banjoman, no photo sharing sites necessary. I just followed CyBerkut's instructions in the other thread:
forum layout weird???
The only difference is where he says to copy the image link in preview doesn't work for me, so what I do is I post with just attachment (through the Attachment Manager. Copy the link once I see it in the forum, edit my post and insert with the "insert image link" button since now I have the link and then just repost. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks, that makes sense. I tried his instructions and I couldn't get them to work. I'll give your's a try.

Edit: Just tried your method in the WOFF Art thread and it worked great. Thanks, now we can sort of post screenshots again.

The men have been pestering me relentlessly to have some kind of personal marking painted on my aeroplane so that they could easily recognize me in the air. So far, I have successfully resisted their efforts, but today I decided to succumb to their prodding. Their arguments really do have merit and if it will make us more efficient in the air then it would be foolish to not acquiesce to their demands. Of course, once I agreed then the men wanted to paint personal markings on their aeroplanes as well. I only reminded the men to remember we are pilots of the Luftstreitkräfte and so nothing too flashy. Here are a few photographs of my machine, just my initials and the colors of our flag, of course.

Mar 12, 1917.


The weather cleared so I was able to get up in my new ride. I was at 5000 ft when spotted Archie going off nearby so whiped over for a look-see. The Huns had 2 Recon types over the neighbors Aeropark so I had a go. My N-17 is not as fidgety as the N-11 I got close and got off 9 rds from the Lewis then it stopped firing. Thank goodness for the Vickers gun got 42 rds off. On the second pass got off two 22-30 rds bursts the the machine Jammed. Nothing to do but go home empty handed.

Carrick, good show! You must be happy with your new ride. Too bad about the gun jams. Try shorter bursts. I rarely get them jammed, but that's because I rarely have the enemy in front of me long enough for the guns to jam in the first place. 50cal

Guys, here is the latest status report.

Guys, I also have started a thread in the CombatAce forum with this same information. I'm going to be posting in both places so that we can decide which forum we prefer. Here is the link to the CombatAce posting - Combat Ace Centenary DID

Fullofit:: I will try to use short bursts, but my Trigger finger does get itchy.

Banjoman: I am using a new computer and could not save pilot files from the old one. Should I ? Start a new pilot or continue with Dudley but zero Flt Time , 0 Kills, and O claims and sorties ?
