    Good turn out for my strafing the RAF airfield which saw Sven destroy a couple of slit trenches a hanger and the Nissan huts which he deemed to be toilets

    Reg (Rebel) took some stick and went down in a hail of bullets. Steve (Von Guntruck) flew his Galland 109 with jaunty presiion only getting in a cople of shots but living to fight another day.
    Simon (Maverick) with his freshly bought Spit took it like a hero with his first pass costing him 12HP. But through careful moves he got to the last turn with 1 point left before Dennis got him with his 110
    Only 3 planes downed so a victory for the Luftwaffe.
    AAR to follow when I getback to France nd a decent computer

    Well, as much as I wish I was there, I had a scheduling conflict. So, at least I'm out playing Wings this weekend, if not with a bunch of veteran pilots and Wingers.

    Have fun!

    Congratulations to the Polish Squadron for giving us the old one two three, and also to Simon for coming up on the rails, and upholding the British end.

    Well done everyone.

    Passed this place in the taxi on the way from the airport (bit blurry as Lewis Hamilton was driving the taxi a bit fast). Shame it was nearer airport than it was to Hotel Mars, otherwise it would have been worth a trip out to it.

    Ironically, the driver I had today had only been back in Prague a couple of weeks, having spent 10 years in Doncaster! Having had to make an on-the-spot contribution to the Police Benevolent Fund, he then demonstrated his excellent grasp of the English language as it pertained to the Plod.

    First of all, congratulations to the winners! Well done, chaps

    As Con is getting better and bigger every year, so special thanks and congratulations go to organizers.

    Dushan had his first appearance at Con and he liked it very much, so it's very possible we have recruited one more

    We are all sad we had to leave day early, but we all hope next year we'll be present whole time.

    As a postscript to the previous brief description of my RAF airfield bombing game it must be mentioned that Sven (Marechallannes) for his successful destruction of the Nissen huts which he referred to as" toilets", was awarded the Order of the Toilet Brush with Oak Leaves and (wait for it....) Clusters.






    Oh and thanks for reminding me Reg (Rebel) Dan shot you're 109 down with a Defiant


















    Dennis ( Nachtschwärmer) You must learn to fly a little higher as buildings are also at Level 1

    Thumbs up Hungry for creating new scenarios for 2018 Prag Con

    Hi pilots,

    it was a very good idea to start The Wings of Glory game this year, thanks to Rafal (Thunderbold) - he infected my imagination

    In Prag I met people with pasion and open hearted friends. It was great pleasure to meet you pilots

    I discovered - it is realy nice to prepare scenarios.
    Without wasting time, next week we will test mision: "1943 Mareth Line in Tunisia"

    And I collect planes and materials for aircratscarier's battle, somewhere in Pacific.

    Darek dreams about Normady. Rafał also about Pacific.

    Be prepared for 2018, it is very soon

    TataMichal
