Hello Gents!! Thank you for the welcome!! I’m usually more present in the forum but recently sold our home and now in the process of selling things we cannot bring with us, donating a lot to charity, placing stuff in storage and prepping for our move 1 May to a temporary res until our new home is finished in August. Between my post retirement part time job 3 days/ week I snatch amission or 2 after dinner. I have reached 17 April17 and came back alone from a balloon busting mission as my flight was bounced by 5 Albatros scouts. My poor Pup was riddled but the engine was working fine. I damaged 2 of the Albatros scouts, 1 trailing smoke as they headed east and I west with the controls of my Pup very much damaged. I managed to set her down, ammunition almost done, physically drained and very thirsty. Debriefing showed the whole flight of 4 survived, with a confirmed kill to our flight leader. 2 of my flight dustained injuries and have been hospitalized for 7 days. New pilots will fill the gaps for our next sortie. Dark Canuck I will post my experiences innthe Reports from the front thread and join in on the DID centennary! Cheers all! I am having a total blast with this amazing Sim!! Thank younfor the welcoming and words of encouragement!

Hey Gents. I’ve survived the first 10 days of bloody April 1917 with my Pup pilot from 66 Sqd. This has included: 3 balloon attacks, 3 attacks on airfields at Erchin, La Petrie, & Riencourt some escort work and sally’s into enemy territory which caused frayed nerves and a damaged Pup. I’ve been shot up 6 times, had 2 engine failures just prior to reaching German lines & have been credited with 2 Rolands, a Halberstadt, and 2 Albatros DII’s bringing my total to 8. Action, when it occurs is fast and furious! I must admit I dread the airfield attacks the most! Members of my flight have survived our sorties and we swill ale, whiskey and enjoy raucous banter during evenings in the mess! If I survive I will request some leave in England! Maybe the weather will be foul tomorrow so I can catch up on some much needed rest....and a hangover! I will continue to persevere! Welcome fellow flyer! =) I started a Sopwith Pup campaign myself. Not doing quite as well as you but did bag a Roland CII and Halb II on 1st mission.I'm flying in 54th RFC now Jan 1917. Good luck to your continued success sir!
