Feldwebel Wardy leaves Kalach

Gentlemen, Wardy successfully completed his final assessment flight tonight. He even managed to see some Heinkels (gasp). Then he shot one down and made a landing in a LaGG without spinning. Anyway, I grudgingly suppose I have to say he did just about ok. Anyway, he is now operational and posted to ...

Re: Starshina Wardy arrives at Kalach

That is a shame. I hope that if they simply replace components, that there isn’t any latent damage that will show up down the line.

PITA though it might be, I’d ask for a new pc. Unfit for purpose, Distance Selling Regs and all that.

Re: Starshina Wardy arrives at Kalach

Well, the least said about AF2 the better. AF3 though, well that was certainly action packed. Twigs and branches everywhere there were. Carnage. Interspersed with "Ooooh ooooh I see tanks, and trucks, and a battleship 8 o'clock high..." Hmmm I thought. He spotted the "110s" (He111s) though, so there...

Starshina Wardy arrives at Kalach

Gentlemen I am pleased to announce that despite not seeing a couple of He111s (twice) or some FWs (landing lights on) near to Kalach that he did enough to avoid me rolling my eyes too much and to pass A/F 1. Make him welcome as normal, though avoid the usual (or unusual depending on whether or not y...

It's got lots of funny accents in it and I had a go at saying it in private, but gave up.

Andy it is!

Re: Starshina Andy arrives at Kalach

Someone else to shoot at me!

Let it goooo let it goooooooooo.

Andy, watch out for Merlin's offer to demonstrate a barrel roll when you're drunk. One of his last trainee pilots ended up pregnant. Don't ask...

Keep it up.

The good flying that is.

If Swallow were about he'd have a field day on the various grammatical errors and missing punctuation in the above posts.

Re: Starshina Bloomster leaves Kalach

Well done Bloomster!

Other things to remember:

1. Don't shoot me down during ops.
2. Don't fire at me during ops.
3. Don't even fire anywhere near me during ops.
4. Shooting at anyone else apart from me is fine.
5. Survive your first op.

Starshina Bloomster arrives at Kalach

Gentlemen, Bloomster successfully completed AF1 tonight. He did not shoot me down, collide with me (though he tried) or somehow blow me up. He is obviously made of good stuff! However, he did have one slight blot - "I've got it..." followed by "Oh..." as he nosed over on takeoff. Merlin followed him...

Re: Feldwebel Woody arrives at Kalach

Ah but here you fall down in your argument as the hangers are obviously empty. If only you had not posted a picture of your folly!

Bunny, can we start him off on 4 political officer points? Mind you he has to get through AF4 first...
