This campaign is really heating up gents! Only appropriate as we are in the last months of the war, only we don’t know it yet! Don’t feel bad Trustworthy, your not the only chap that hit a busy streak. Visiting kin folks, spring work at the farm, hobbies and getting WOFF Between Heaven and He’ll II up and running, it’s been a bit hectic. Great stories and videos gents. We have fresh faces and fallen heroes since my last post.
I had a hard enough time living in the “old sim”. It’s going to be much harder now. I’ll tell April 5, 1918 from my real life point of view.
Finally, everything running smooth. Time to catch up Kemp’s story with an afternoon of flying. “No operations today, your mechanic has fitted your machine with a new engine. Take her for a few spins around the field to check her out. “Ok, that’s a cool bit of immersion” me thinks. Once on the field I see 13 specs up high. “Mmmmm.....well, nobody said scramble.” I start the engine and look again. “No Archie, must be a friendly flight! Off we go.” I had climbed about 1000’ when I noticed the flight diving. “Uh oh!” I turn back toward the field and get swarmed by a whole bunch of Strutters! This child ain’t never seen so many tracers flying by his kite! Archie and ground fire finally woke up and as I start to land get hit! It’s 18 days in hospital for Karl Kemp! I hope the nurses are of the caliber Carrick gets! WOFF is a whole new universe of danger gents! Be careful.
Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or a fool from either end. BOC Member since....I can't remember!
