I’m currently having my usual plane angst for “just one career at a time” so that I may focus. 56 Squadron with Se5’s (favorite plane) or 1 Squadron with the N17 (a close second). Got them both rolled up - just pending the Delete button on one. Or I can flip back and forth upon a...untimely demise. Having too many favorites is an awful burden!

Currently flying a Roland during the Battle of the Somme.
How did I end up here? I pick the next airforce, advance the season and leave the rest to chance for each career when I die. (So if I die in winter 1916, I select the next airforce in line, select for spring 1916 and let the chips fall where they may from there) It means I end up in some interesting scenarios that I wouldn't usually choose for myself. The Roland has been fun since I can fly it like a fighter after my duties are completed, (Unless I have plates and a camera that need to be returned to base). However, the incredibly slow firing gun and not being able to see through the top wing really limit my effectiveness. Fortunately I can just open up the throttle and be somewhere else if things get hairy, it's quite easy to get away from scouts at this stage provided you see them coming.
Let's pretend I got the BWOC badge to embed here.

RNAS 9, during Bloody April. I like a challenge. Although I do think that sticking me in a N11 is a bit much. I can deal with the structural weakness. And I can even navigate without a compass thanx to Lou's maps. But no gunsight and only 194 rounds is a real pain. I've probably lost two kills because I ran out of ammo.
SALUTE TO ALL!

I love flying the Roland, it's a chunk and can't be thrown about but it's fast by 1916 standards. I'm the scourge of any DH2 in the vicinity. With the added bonus of bombing missions as well.
So, we take off in ten minutes, we're in the air for twenty minutes, which means we should be dead by twenty five to ten.

Hi,
RNAS 8 August 1917 Started in Mid June with Tripes now flying Camels. Now on My fourth pilot. #3 bit the dust on his first flight after changing to the Camel. Bit too aggressive with G-Forces and lost the bottom wing going a Alb DV.
