Fullofit - A strong end to Klaus's tales, he for one certainly did not fail his Kaiser or his country and I hope he found solace in whatever path he chose. Great picture of the mass of Fokkers.
Raine - Fergie had the fright of his life when that Archie pranged him, now is not the time to get taken out, with the church bells about to ring. After a difficult start trying to prove himself in those Bristol Fighters, he dug out a great few months of fighting. Some great tales with wonderful details as always, topped off by that sound recording....remarkable and very very poignant. I'm glad you enjoyed my tales and I'll certainly be back for the next DID jaunt.
Lou - Congratulations on Freddy's success and survival. Such a strong character and great stories, backed up by a wealth of historical detail....not to mention your work on those MODs, brilliant. Thank you for all your work on the gongs....they are very well done and if only the sim itself did them that well.
Epower - What can one say, Oliver's tale deserves to be in print. His success speaks for itself, he'll have Hollywood moguls begging at his door and has at least two beauties fighting over him. Fantastic tales and all backed up by painstaking details. Our paths crossed on occasion and it was a pleasure getting an insight into how you compose your episodes.
TWK - Sad to see those wonderful DVII's having to be burned. Glad you're man survived to tell his tale.
Carrick - Cecil survived and after his time in the south of France, is probably the only one of us with a tan. Some fine fighting and funny stories.
NR and MFair - Enjoyed your tales a lot during my time on here and very much looking forward to reading more next time around.
Bob - All's fair in love and war
To the rest of you, I sincerely hope you are all able to take part in the next version.
Starting in 1915 is an interesting twist, at least we'd all earn our transfers to scouts later on by putting in the time on two seaters first. I'll leave it to the decision makers but I don't mind either way...1915 or 1916.
"A great deal of an aeroplane could be holed without affecting its ability to fly. Wings and fuselage could be—and often were—pierced in 50 places, missing the occupants by inches (blissfully unaware of how close it had come until they returned to base). Then the sailmaker would carefully cover each hole with a square inch of Irish linen frayed at the edges and with a brushful of dope make our aircraft 'serviceable' again within an hour."
