Signing the Auth Sheets for duty

**Dirigible** · 09-08-2016 11:39

Good evening all from Sunny Newark!

Having signed on last night, I thought I'd swing by and sign the Auth Sheets...

I've been wargaming, of many shades, for somewhere over 25 years, with Wings of War on the menu for around 8 of them.
Whilst I live in Newark, the majority of my gaming is carried out 'over the border' with my club The Old Dirigibles (the wargames club of RAFC Cranwell). We occasionally get numerous kites airborne, when the mood takes us...
Most recently we put WoW on whilst supplying DS to the Station Families Day a couple of weeks ago, and most recently last Sunday whilst supporting a fundraising day for Macmillan at Stoke Rochford Hall.

Keeping it in the family, my youngest is a capable pilot at age 11, proudly owning/operating a Spad XIII.

Thanks for your attention!!

Fly high! (And watch out for rocks hiding in clouds....)

Hi Paul, welcome to the 'drome from Essex.

**Boney10** · 09-08-2016 14:07

Welcome Paul, from Bristol

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 09-08-2016 14:55

I'm pleased to be able to welcome you to the Drome not only as a Wingman but also another Nottinghamian Paul.
I hope that you will find us an interesting group, and full of useful tips about the game and the era in general.
Hope to see you in the Mess for a virtual pint or three and a good chinwag.
Fly safe and watch your six.
Rob.

G'day Paul! Welcome to the 'drome on behalf of the Pilots who fly in NSW down in Australia where Spring has just sprung.

You will find so much to enjoy here on the Forum so take your time to check out all the sections & then as Rob (Mr Kyte) says adjourn to the bar for a few virtual

& much chit chat.

Hi Chris!

Ah. Sunny Donny! I know it well!
I grew up in the DN14 postcode, and my eldest lad lives in Carcroft (when not at uni..)

Welcome from Edinburgh.
Hope to meet you in a game sometime.

Welcome from another over here in Norfolk, see you at Partizan next year?

Tony.

**Dirigible** · 09-09-2016 14:05

Hi Tony
Most certainly be at Partizan! More than likely be helping with the club game, if we are running one. But certainly will be there!!!

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 09-09-2016 14:25

We are certainly aiming to run a game next year Paul.
Rob.

**Dirigible** · 09-09-2016 15:03

I will look out for the details with interest!

**OldGuy59** · 09-09-2016 23:48

Belated welcome from Vancouver Island, Paul.

One of these days, I will be gaming across the table from some English pilots, and not through a wire.

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 09-10-2016 00:42

There is also our weekend at Doncaster Air Museum coming up at the end of the month. If you are interested Paul.

A very belated welcome from here in Kent - the things you miss when off-line for 14 days!

**Conall** · 09-16-2016 01:46

Hi and welcome from another rookie pilot in London.

Happy hunting!

Tom

**Dirigible** · 09-16-2016 12:36

Thanks Chaps!
Put a couple of pics in my (only) album yesterday evening, from a days gaming a couple of weeks ago.
Nothing too spectacular - but I am pleased to report that the Gotha got chopped as it approached the bombing point (by my Spad). Unfortunately, the Spad was also taken down at the same time....
