I'm on stand by resting up at the savoy
Enjoying the delights of Piccadilly
Ready willing and able to give the Bosch a bloody nose
Give my batman a call if you require my services in a spitty
He will dig me out of the night clubs of London to defend  All that is righteous good and honourable in this trying time
Tally ho

Just watched the newsreel, what an outrage! Cheeky Hun. Is the RAF still taking pilots from Australia? If so maybe there's a spare Spitty or Hurricane for an old Camel driver from the last lot.  :salute
I'm a bit of a noob outside the WW1 arena, can we just show up on the event days, or do we need to register?

Just show up in time and pick a side. It is an all walkon event.  :salute

well it's the truth  :neener:.   There was a reason those 110's needed their own fighter escort because they got butchered.   I read somewhere that the 110c was a later variant and the 110 at the time would have had less powerful engines. 

Seeing a 110 outrun my spitfire mk 1 is depressing.

The Heinkel would make life for a depressed Hurri 1 driver much more cheerful.

Don't worry we prolly gonna get a 111 skin option for the B29 or A26 :p

Background
***********
In the spring of 1940, Hitler's armies smashed
across the borders of the Netherlands and
Belgium and streamed into the northern reaches
of France. The German "Blitzkrieg" moved
swiftly to the west and the south, splitting
the British and French defenders, trapping the
British army at Dunkirk and forcing its
evacuation from continental Europe. The Germans
entered Paris on June 14 and forced France's
surrender on June 22. The British now stood
alone, awaiting Hitler's inevitable attempt
to invade and conquer their island.
 
Great Britain was in trouble. The soldiers rescued
from Dunkirk were exhausted by their ordeal.
Worse, most of their heavy armaments lay
abandoned and rusting on the French beaches.
After a short rest, the Germans began air
attacks in early summer designed to seize
mastery of the skies over England in preparation
for invasion. All that stood between the
British and defeat was a small force of RAF
pilots outnumbered in the air by four to one.

Day after day the Germans sent armadas of
bombers and fighters over England hoping to
lure the RAF into battle and annihilate the defenders.
Day after day the RAF scrambled their pilots
into the sky to do battle often three, four
or five times a day. Britain's air defense
bent but did not break. By September,
the Germans lost enthusiasm for the assault.
Hitler postponed and then canceled invasion
plans, turning his attention to the defeat
of Russia. In appreciation of the RAF pilots'
heroic effort, Winston Churchill declared:

"Never before in human history was so much
owed by so many to so few."

Frame 1 was played yesterday and there were about 70 pilots slugging it out over the English channel. We saw some really big Stuka attacks against large 15+ ship convoys and channel ports :aok

Frame 2 where the Luftwaffe attacks the RAF airfields in Britain, will be played next Sunday, Nov 14th. Join the fun and be a part of the first SEC frame to reach 100 players! It will be Legendary!  :rock

Was a great turnout, and great event. Fear the Stuka.  :rock
Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.
