Thread: Almost an AAR----Pics from a Gotha raid game!

    Smile Almost an AAR----Pics from a Gotha raid game!

    G'day All! A couple of weeks back Dal Gavan & myself played a Gotha raid game with Halvo flying a Gotha & a new recruit, Noah flying an Albatross D.Va.

    Dal & myself both flew Camels with Dal having an AFC kite & me with a Hearts of Oak bird.

    Due to using the game to teach Noah all about Wings of Glory it got too hectic to do a running commentary with full pics plus I had to wait to get my new computer up & running with new photo software before I could post cropped & resized pics.
    However there were some nice images so hope you enjoy them!

    As you can see from the results the Gotha survived although with a damaged engine.
    Dal, Noah & myself all were shot down! Yes another collision & fire saw my Camel bite the dust.
    Young Noah did really well except for the odd collision.

    The clouds added an extra dimension to the game & everyone had a great time. Finally here is a photo of Noah.

    Very nice Baz.
    A picturesque encounter and it is so good to see the youngsters getting involved.

    Good enough for me as an AAR! Great set up, and brilliant pics of the action.

    Has Noah been converted yet?

    He certainly enjoyed flying the Albatross & we will keep trying to rope him in for more games.
