All of the local hostelries (well the 4 within a few hundred yards) however do.
So am afraid live reports will be restricted to smartphone connectivity to the 3G or 4G network and Skype will have to be included in the post match phase of events.

Thanks for saving me a Journey Chris.

**Hedeby** · 04-06-2014 02:46

Not a problem Rich..

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 05-11-2014 10:31

Just to confirm this. Our overseas visitors will be Andrzej, Paul, and Thomas. Am I right here chaps?

Booked and a done deal.

: swmbo is also on the trip as we are bouncing of to Gib via Malaga and EMA on the Sunday to see our son and family. Due to luggage restrictions I might need to borrow a plane or 2 over the week end. Any old crate will do

**Lt. S.Kafloc** · 05-11-2014 14:24

I have a few orange ones, any good?

**tikkifriend** · 05-11-2014 15:48

Perfect a couple of Van Persings will do fine

**Hedeby** · 05-12-2014 13:10

I will have all my stuff there, so feel free to help yourself to what you need - although my collection pretty paltry compared to some

**tikkifriend** · 05-12-2014 16:01

Thanks Chris, promise not to prang to many

:

**Boney10** · 05-12-2014 16:04

Ill be bringing one or two models also which you will be more than welcome to use

**Flying Helmut** · 05-12-2014 16:49

Me too!

**David Manley** · 05-12-2014 20:51

I'll probably bring Shapeways and repaints sine I expect there will be more than enough "standard" models around. Happy for others to use them.

I'll also bring a couple of airships.

**Lt. S.Kafloc** · 05-13-2014 01:42

I'll have all the aircraft for the Pacific Games, the Zeppelin, a few WW1 planes but if you want to take part in the Hunt the Zeppelin bring a two seater along. (Paul I'll bring my two seaters so you can have a choice R504 or Taube?)

**Nightbomber** · 05-13-2014 02:27

I will have a solid box of my planes as well, especially some of those from the unknown front

if you lads find an interest in strafing some infantry, horses

, or bomb a railway station to greet a coming commissar...Wanna escort a Breguet in your Oeffag or shoot down the beast flying your Camel? There is a world of opportunities at Donnie

**tikkifriend** · 05-13-2014 08:34

Thanks Lads , This means I get a chance to WoW and WGS with something different.

**Nightbomber** · 05-13-2014 10:17

Of course I would not go without some WWII non official planes of mine

Greetings gents, just making our vacation plans and I am trying to make it so we (myself and soon to be wife) can drop in and shoot a few of you down. I just want to find out if this is a boys only weekend?
So, you could have one or two more Johnny Foreigners to ad to your list.

Peter

**Baron Rolf** · 05-18-2014 22:52

I'm really sorry chaps but I cannot attend the National Aerodrome gathering in Doncaster this year

, the reason is I'll be on holiday in Florence as I've checked the dates, but I'll be linking up with Marco one of my Italian forum chums for some games of WGF at his local gaming store

No problems for your Good Lady to attend with you Peter. Mrs Kyte will be with me at least for the Friday night.
I believe we also have another lady coming along. Paul from Brittany and his wife will be there as well.
It will be superb to be able to meet you both. If I can be of any use to you on your trip please let me know.
Rob.

Thanks Rob, great news. Wasn't sure if this was a boys weekend so wanted to be sure. Deborah loves WGF and will really enjoy being part of this event.

My Deborah is a local girl, from Wales. I think she knows the area but I may tap you for some recon.

We're very excited about this trip. We originally were planning to come over next week (May) but the Imperial War Museum is closed for renovations till July so we put the trip off until the fall. Thanks goodness she has her priorities in order!

Peter

**Nightbomber** · 05-19-2014 07:17

Great news, Peter

I am looking forward to meet you!

**Teaticket** · 05-19-2014 07:37

Yes, it will be great to meet you too Andy, and all the other familiar names I've come to know. Hopefully I'll be able to safely pack a few planes to bring with us.

**Lt. S.Kafloc** · 05-19-2014 10:07

Great news Peter looking forward to a real International event now.

**tikkifriend** · 05-19-2014 10:31

Thats great Peter Nothing like true love to bring you to Doncaster on your European vacation.

**Teaticket** · 05-19-2014 10:41

This is my "Meet the Family" trip. Luckily we will also be able to get out and see some of the countryside and meet you all at Doncaster. Can't wait.

**tikkifriend** · 05-19-2014 11:10

Got a place to stay yet?

**Teaticket** · 05-19-2014 11:39

Not yet. Last evening we finally decided on the dates of the trip and how we hope to proceed, visiting her brother, then off to Wales, Doncaster, her sister's, and finally London and the Imperial War Museum.

**johnbiggles** · 05-21-2014 03:17

I'm bringing my wife and daughters, so there should be plenty of table space, the ladies are far far deadlier than us poor males.

**tikkifriend** · 05-21-2014 08:53

Hey ,the more the merrier

Don't forget the RAF museum at Hendon in London Peter. http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/

**Hedeby** · 05-22-2014 01:17

I was going to do a beer run on the way in on Saturday, looks like might need to grab a couple of bottles of white wine (for the ladies) as well now, lol

**johnbiggles** · 05-22-2014 02:04

Don't go too mad on our account, my daughters are too young, and my wife doesn't drink.
Sadly, she doesn't drive either.

**Hedeby** · 05-22-2014 07:32

Oh now that is an unworkable combination, you have my sympathies !

**tikkifriend** · 05-22-2014 09:46

My Mary is a white wine fan

Pity we cannot bring any over with us from Gods vineyard in France

**Lt. S.Kafloc** · 05-22-2014 12:23

How much BP Paul? Stotties NP. Will you be able to take the BP back with you?

**tikkifriend** · 05-22-2014 14:41

Thought it might be nice to introduce the Southerners to some proper food with a little BP as snack attacks, the stotties will go for a bit of snap before flying to Spain.

Thanks, now on the list. We'll head to London for the end of the trip so we'll have Tue-Thur there before heading back Friday.

**Lt. S.Kafloc** · 06-05-2014 09:16

Game ideas sent to Chris and Rob, for approval, by email.

**Teaticket** · 06-05-2014 09:52

I re-read the thread... any update on the badges/patches? I definitely want in on this for both myself and Deborah. Also, any schedule set on the games? I will have limited ability to bring any planes with me but will do what I can.

**Lt. S.Kafloc** · 06-05-2014 09:56

Peter, Chris (Boney10) is organising possible badge options. I wouldn't worry about bringing aircraft as I am sure there will, I know there will, be sufficient from the UK members attending to cover your requirements. If you have anything specific in mind give me a PM and if I have it you can borrow it to use over the weekend.

Neil

**Teaticket** · 06-05-2014 10:21

Thanks, using any planes supplied by the 'home team' will be great but if I can I would like to bring some of my own. I know Deborah will want to fly her Sopwith Dragon!

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 06-05-2014 10:46

Thanks Neil.
I have your memo.
I will now wait to hear from Chris, and we can then firm up the programme for the weekend.
Rob.

**Hedeby** · 06-07-2014 01:37

Wow - if you can make a special guest appearance that would be amazing - hey can we now claim to be holding the FIRST EVER WINGS OF GLORY WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP !!!

**FarEast** · 06-07-2014 04:36

Also don't forget the Army Air Corp museum at Middle Wallop and the Tank Museum at Bovington

**Boney10** · 06-08-2014 13:01

Ok chaps, a number of games are in the pipeline for the get together in Sept.
All these have so far come from organisers of the event plus the shows we have done.
Is there any member coming to the function want to put on a game themselves or are you happy for the weekend to be "organised" for you.
I think we have enough scenarios/ games for the weekend to keep us occupied , but of course it is a weekend for all so if you have a particular scenario or game you would like to play please let us know so we can accommodate.

Currently there are games planned for WW1 mini campaign, Zeppelin attack, WW1squaron v Jasta games, Taranto attack, BoB scenarios, a Chippy raid for WW1 , Pacific carrier attack.

A full programme will be published shortly, but if you have a particular game please let me know
