O.M.G. Why?

Merlin, fail him, fail him now! Mind you, perhaps it is better to keep all of these odd ones where we can see them to make sure they don't do too much damage...

Re: Feldwebel Sparky arrives at Kalach

The most important thing when you're approaching AF4 is...

Relax

Take it easy. Cut down on chatter, concentrate on where you should be and what your objective is.

I think that tomorrow you and me will pair up and go huntin'!

Re: Feldwebel Sparky arrives at Kalach

3 second delay. Dive at around a 30 degree angle. Drop at around 300m when the target disappears under your nose then run. Do not dive too steeply or you will not pull out in time.

Re: Feldwebel Eddie arrives at Kalach

I'm quite worried that you were thinking along those lines. Anyway, you could quote something as random as part of the CDM regs: “structure” means— (a) any building, timber, masonry, metal or reinforced concrete structure, railway line or siding, tramway line, dock, harbour, inland navigation, tunne...

Re: Feldwebel Eddie arrives at Kalach

Well done Eddie. Reggie is right - please change your forum name to Eddie so it makes things easier. After all, my forum name should be really be "His Awesomeness" or "The Modest One" but I leave it as just Tom to make it easier.
