Thanks for the reminder, Jim! Just done so!
I was so hungry after the sortie, that I had hurried out to buy everything I need for my speciasl
recepy: fried Weisswurst! Yummie!!!

Shiloh, yea, he is interesting indeed - thank you!
He is actually THE British ace I had the most fights with. No idea why, but we always seem to meet again!
First time ever, in old OFF, he shot me down.
After that, I must have shot him down ca. 6 times.

Note to all pilots: As we are not to use the WOFF medal assignments I will remove that question from the web survey questionnaire. Medals will be given by RAF_Louvert and communicated to Olham who will put them in his table which will be published here in Page 1 as usual. So you will not have that question to answer in future once I have updated the web page.

As before, you do not get points for medals anyway, even if they are pretty.

Alright, you heard, what the Major said!

Damn, Jim, tonight the drinks are all on you, my friend: 13 sorties, with an overall time of 13.13 hours...
You'll need the whole bar to knock on wood!

Just got in from the trail Jim, I have updated Charles Chatterley but If he is late I will update again next Wed.

MFair, you can update until Sunday night. I will make the next chart on Monday.

Plse note you forgot my one and only victory.

No pb can wait till Sunday update.

thanks Olham, misunderstanding on my part, which, according to my wife is a regular occurance!

Charles Chatterley. June 25th. Recon Mission. 2 DH2 Escorts

It was a beautiful if not a little cloudy day for patrol. Our flight of 3 met up with the 2 escorts on time and headed for the front lines. Climbing to 9000' before crossing the lines we started our patrol. Soon the flight leader started doing some lazy S's and I knew the enemy was afoot but as usual I could not spot them. I finally spotted one to my right and a little below and slid in behind him and sent him plunging to the river below with an escort hot on his tail. I climbed and looked for my flight and could not find anyone. I circled for about 5 minutes and decided to head home but noticed some planes behind me and decided it was my flight. Big mistake! Its 3 Hun scouts. I turn tail and head west. My observer sent one packing but the other 2 stayed with me, with "Gunney" peppering them all the way. Just crossing into friendly territory he slaps me on the shoulder and points to his gun. Jammed! I stay on course until some bullets rip through the wing and I turn and go head to head with 1 of the rascals.

This took him by surprise and I was soon on his tail and sent him smoking into a heap into the town of Bailleul. An escort flew by and now I know what happened to the other Hun chasing me.

I head northwest to base but spot my flight below and heading southwest. I throttled back and dropped down with them and we landed at LaGourge. It has been a fine day! 2 Huns we will not be bothered with tomorrow.

I didn't forget it - you forgot to capture it! Remember, I always use your LATEST web survey response. I do tend to check that your hours have increased etc but can't spot everything.

This morning Thursday got new entries from Mfair and cptroyce. They will be reported on Sunday.

Do we report on Wednesday, Sunday, or both? I surely do not want to ad to all the work Jim and Olham are doing on this wonderful campaign. Someone straighten me out here. Thanks folks!

Both Wednesday and Sunday. I collect the last results at 8pm and send them to Olham. Remember that that is 2pm in New York and 11 am in Los Angeles. Both Olham and I are on "B" time = Zulu + 2 hrs. I remember that Singapore was on "GH" time = Zulu + 7½ hrs.

To all Pilots:

when you fill in the form for Jim_Attrill, you need to fill in the hours AND the victories
as confirmed in your pilot log.
Even if you had 1 single victory last time, and nothing had changed since then, you need to fill in
"Victories: 1" in the next report again. Otherwise it will not appear in the next chart
I receive from Jim.

That seems to be what happened in your case, Corsaire.

It seems that for some reason the data I sent last Sunday is not in the chart. It only shows the first two missions of my pilot. Maybe there's something wrong with the system? My forum name isn't even listed among the pilots there.

NOTICE TO ALL PILOTS - VERY IMPORTANT!!!

I have noticed that some pilots complain about missing data. One thing you must all remember about the web survey is that you MUST hit 'submit' at the last page. If you get there and close your browser NOTHING will result.

Butttt.... I missed HASSE's capture of Sunday 22nd. Fixed now and I can tell you that your pilot Albrecht Niemann has 4 sorties, 4.18 hours and 83.6 points. Apologies for that - I had a lot of submissions that day.

ps. you can submit data at any time - it does not have to be Wednesday or Saturday. Now will do!

And if you know that your submission was incorrect just do it again - I take the latest one for the chart.

And I will add 'Hasse' to the list of pilots so you don't have to pick "other" - this is where the problem started.

NB: medals question has been removed - RAF_Louvert will assign medals and Olham will put them in his chart.

I know I did, but as said before it can wait.

Hmm... - if you filled in a "1" and it still doesn't show up, that's bad.
I hope it will come up next time. Otherwise we'd have a problem with the form?

Really not a problem, Olham, you know I do it mostly for the fun.

Don't worry. I have been in the pooter business since 1981 and am used to people telling me that xyz "doesn't work". I can assure you it does work.

Good that it's not me doing that form - my computer knowledge is quite linited.
However - Jim and I will keep an eye on you, Corsaire.
And I will add your victory "manually" now - I also have 1 confirmed victory,
and so I know how "important" it is - or feels.

Dammit - the error is usually sitting IN FRONT of the computer.
In this case it was me. I had simply overlooked it - it is in the chart Jim had sent to me!
Sorry about that, both Corsaire and Jim!
