Title: Film to watch
Post by: kavo on May 28, 2014, 02:22:04 PM
 Hi Guys, My first post on here.  Just thought I`d share this with you all because I know we all share a love of aviation and WW2 aircraft in particular.
A terric drama I watched online made by the bbc about Geoffrey Wellum, who joined the RAF at age 18 and was put into a spitfire just before the battle of Britain.  its his memoirs and is gloriously filmed with really decent flight/fight sequences and shows the drama and the experiences of a rookie pilot. You can watch it online at www.vimeo.com and look for "first light"  .   (it has a pic of an raf pilot looking out of a window)  . watch it and enjoy,its about an hour and a half long.
Cheers guys.

Welcome aboard.

First rule, don't take anything personal. No doubt, you will post something, someone will be aggrieved and feel compelled to tell all about it. Imagine you have entered into a bar full of drunks, misfits, preachers, know-it-alls and mommas boys. Act accordingly.

Second rule, Fw-190A5 is the best bird in-game.

Enough said
