Best bet is to find a few other guys interested in the Mossie and start up the squad with a few die-hards to get its name out there for a tour or two. Even if they eventually go back to other squads, getting the name out there for a few weeks or months would probably help, especially if you let newbs know that you are open to recruit them. Seeing the name show up in the buffer with kills is the best recruiting tool, especially if you see a few names show up at the same time.

Good luck in getting it going someday, love seeing the Mossie raids. I'd offer to help, but I only fly planes with single Merlins.

Yeah got a guy that I helped form 418 RCAF in Warbirds coming back from Iraq in September or so... He wants to do it again and I'm trying to convince him AH is the palce to be

AH has been the place to be since 1999

Oh, and tell him "welcome back!" as you get him hooked on AH2.

I'm always open for mossie missions, if you see me online. I'm not such a fan that I'd fly them exclusively, mind you, but I do enjoy a mossie mission now and then!

As far as virtual squads go, man I wish we could get the Night Stalkers over here. Best online ground attack squadron bar none. Thier S3 ground attack scores from the old days (before they were stuck in heavies to ballance) is staggering. Really great guys too.

I miss the old BBs (British Bulldogs). Great bunch of sticks in the old Historical Arena, ran some great Mossie runs back in the day.

Used to tag along on escort duty in a P-38 a lot.
