    Keith,
    Did you catch something, or are you working yourself into the ground? Not a laughing matter. Please take care of yourself, and maybe snuff out one end of the candle?

    Three kids - a friendly and though wife - a demanding job - time-consuming hobbies and an international bunch of pilots to manage.

    Sorry about his ladies and gentlemen, I know you have been looking forward to seeing the entries.
    Hey, if we are impatient, you don't have to become a patient
    Get well first, all other can wait.

    As has been mentioned - the pictures are in. They're not going anywhere. Today, tomorrow, next week, next month, next year... that doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. What does matter is your health. So while I've been eagerly scanning the site every day to see if the comp entries are up, what the Mystery Prizes are... waiting a bit longer, or even a lot longer, won't make one whit of difference.

    Get well. Rest. Let the world turn for a while without you pushing it.

    Thanks everyone. I just caught some crud that's going around. We are short handed at work so I could not take any days off to rest Mother nature decided to help me out today and gave us a bad enough blizzard that they closed the base... so a day off after all!

    There was a problem with some images not showing up and a missing entry from the original voting thread. I've just now posted the corrected thread for voting here.

    Having seen the entries..... voting for the top 3 will be HARD.

    Prizes looking fantastic - especially the WGS Advanced Cockpit ... Wow! Should all work out with our latest WGS investment then one of these each for the Wife and Myself will be next.

    I have voted in the competition - Great work everyone

    How about yourself Zoe for instigating the idea and refining the entry conditions. It has certainly proved a successful choice of subject.

    Nah, managing contests is not a medal worthy thing. But thank you though! I think the Reputation system covers things like this just fine.

    That trophy looks amazing!

    From the AA point of view you definitely should consider a Customer Testimonies section at least instead of a medal: Let us speak for you - just a quick suggestion as I don't wish to put us off track

    For my "real" AA products, just reviewing the products you might own on the AA site would be very helpful.

    I was very impressed with that trophy design, Keith. With just a change of name of competition, those would do very, very, very well indeed for future comps. They'd definitely encourage more entries.

    Next contest please!
    (I have no chance whatsoever of winning this one... Who allow me to compete with giants?! )

    A poetry contest?
    Or a 100 meters barriers contest?
    Or a... I don't lose this contest... contest?

    A big Congrats to Guntruck for taking 1st place with his Heinkel He177 A-5 entry and to Mad Charly for coming in 2nd place with a very nice FW 190 A8/Ju 88 G combo! For Third place we have a tie! Clipper1801's PB4Y-2 "Tortilla Flat" Baldy and black joe's PIAGGIO P 108 were just to close for everyone to decide upon!

    Great job everyone that entered and a personal thank you to each of you for making this contest a success!

    Poetry Contest Joaquim ... Now that gets an from me for reasons that we probably share. But I think if one was to be held that it would work - also as a contest it would be able to encompass both WW1 / WGF and WW2 / WGS at the same time as opposed to being orientated towards one game. Or the other ...

    Another idea which would encompass both games at once like this would be an art competition - sketches drawings or even paintings of images of the game or images which relate to the game. I'm the type of person whose given a scrap of paper and before one knows it there's something doodled on there. I'm also aware of how many sketches and drawings like this eventually ended up as nose-art during both wars ...
