Starshina Noris arrives at Kalach

All, Noris successfully completed AF1 last night, with some quite funky formation flying (think funky as in uncontrolled drug and alcohol fueled disco dance moves and you get the picture). By the end though it was a cool. Baby. He even managed a very nice landing. Congratulations Noris, feel free to...

Feldwebel Minty arrives at Kalach

Gentlemen, Feldwebel Minty arrived with a stylish swagger tonight, completing his first Assessment Flight with aplomb. Well he didn't see some Heinkels but I'll forgive him that because, contrary to opinion, I'm lovely. Anyway, despite being Israel he speaks English well, but forgive him the odd phr...

Feldwebel Silk leaves Kalach

By the skin of his teeth, and narrowly missing several hangers on the way, Feldwebel Silk has passed OTU. He was THIS close to having to go through OTU again but he has the right attitude for ops and that was the deciding factor. Gazing into my crystal ball I can see LDU points leading to Bunny shoo...

I noted that the pdf uploaded to the BOS site contains Prangster's email and our normal server password.

Re: Sgt Sylkhy arrives at a train station near to Kalach

To be fair he did shoot up Blackjack last night and as we were all on the same side this suggests he's closer to joining than he might think.

O how I chortled!

Re: Sgt Sylkhy arrives at a train station near to Kalach

Just a quick update. Last week Silk showed major improvement in formation flying and all that jazz. What was really nice was that he avoided all of the normal Tangmere chit chat. He's been doing the assessment flights quite well but not quite up to Tangmere ops standards, though with last Sunday's s...

Re: Sgt Sylkhy arrives at a train station near to Kalach

The positive is that it gives me great tracking practice trying to find you. ;) I'm sure someone can knock something up. @ Prangster if you see this, I've tried to open up the FW mini campaign missions over VL and they all result in the editor saying the mission cannot be opened or something like th...

Re: Sgt Sylkhy arrives at a train station near to Kalach

I'll amend it so that the next time you log on just put Silk.

I always used Silk for rogue characters after the Belgariad books (read when i was a nipper but I now realise they were awful tosh).

Re: Sgt Sylkhy arrives at a train station near to Kalach

Probably best to change it to just "Silk" or "Silky" as we try not to stray from what would have been used in the '40s. Mind you, just the mention of silk in a sentence sets some chaps' hearts racing.

Sgt Sylkhy arrives at a train station near to Kalach

Sgt Silk has arrived somewhere near Kalach. He needs to sort out some controls issues and will be working to transition from normal settings to Tangmere settings, but I've no doubt that very soon he'll start OTU and will sail through the OTU phase. Mind you he's destined to be yet another chap takin...
