MFair, I needed a change from that SPAD - you’ll never catch me in one of those sorry excuses for an aeroplane. As to those four Camels I have a feeling something’s up. As to young Kemp, he’s using that new Fokker to its full potential. Fighting Camels isn’t fun but if you have to, this is the machine to do it in, or a Dreidecker. Hopefully the new Fokker will serve him well and get him out of many tight spots. Hals und Beinbruch!
Albert, good to hear Kevin has not expired prematurely. Yes, girls do have those distracting attributes. Better keep Kevin away for now. As to Klaus’s Pfalz there is one thing it can do better than most (apart from diving). It can take serious punishment and still keep afloat. Way better than that French death trap. So, Kevin has finally arrived. I hope he didn’t spend any time in that lorry sitting on a sack of potatoes that would make him uncomfortable. Good show following the orders and gaining Major’s trust. Hopefully the next mission will be more exciting for our new here. Welcome to the fray young Ltn Carroll.
Epower, so is Oliver going to get his portrait painted? It looked like Orps was disappointed with what he had done so far. Will he need another sitting?
Albert once more, now that Kevin’s been “let loose” all kinds of Fokkers are falling out of the sky. Give him some time and Carroll will be on top of the scoreboard.

All claims from yesterday have been denied. The enemy planes were shot down over No Man’s Land and no one could verify either of the claims. One could say “c’est la vie”, but one would have to be French and one doesn’t fight this war to be French. No flying today, as if the sky itself were weeping for Klaus’ denied claims.
