2300 hours CET = 2100 hours or 9:00 PM in United Kingdom
UK time will be 2200 hours and as it is on Saturday I won't be able to make it, unfortunately.  Having known Pipz since AW days, it saddens me that I am unable to take part in the Memorial flight.  I hope it goes well and that someone will film it.

Sorry you won't be able to make it Helen   :(   ...... I am hoping I can make it myself and hoping to film the memorial flight/gathering

Thanks for clarifying my time conversions from CET (also Thank You nrshida) , I took those straight off of Lusche's Linked Time conversion URL, and there was a note about CET and United Kingdom being 4 hours apart and not on UTC/GMT during Summer Months..... hence my questioning that it didn't look right in my post along with my memory that every since playing AW that Leon and I were always either 5 hours or 6 hours apart depending on what time of the year it was..

Corresponding UTC (GMT)          Saturday, October 7, 2017 at 21:00:00                     


Note that United Kingdom is not on GMT during summer.

If possible Save, if you know which SEA Arena it will be held in and a brief description of what you would like the attendees to do, form up, or what have you.... would help everyone going in knowing somewhat of how the LD is wanting to do this before the start time.....this will help save on time on setting up / explaining repeatedly as players file in to the SEA.....

just a friendly suggestion

Pipz was one of a kind. I always enjoyed his company when on long flights. Ahh the songs, the camaraderie.

Very fine fella... always.

Fair skies my friend.

CET is always one hour ahead of UK time because it also has its own version of British Summer Time. They all end / start on the same date. BST goes to GMT on the last Sunday of October.

Pipz would have wanted everyone to know that. As a Commonwealth Canadian.

Please, it is not my place to do so or I would.

Start a new thread just about the memorial flight.  I want everyone to be there.

Zoney has a great Idea here, regarding a new thread for "An Aces High Comunity wide Memorial Flight for Pipz"

I recommend Save doing it, since he is/was the CO of the last squad Pipz was a member of/flew with....

I am going to post a calendar event tonight and share on Facebook.  Still need some details about the aircraft or flight plan.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
