Looking forward to the report.
After an hour delay the plane took off and landed safely in Nottingham. Rob and Eileen were waiting for me at the airport.
On the way to Doncaster we stopped right in the Sherwood Forest for a refreshig walk
In the evening Rob, Paul, Neil and me with a great help from Eileen and Karen set up the venue, placed tables, hanged the national flags and... gathered the prizes!

Hope to see pictures of the event and that everyone has a good time.
Looks like a great haul of prizes waiting for some skilled and/or lucky pilots...I'm sure you're all going to have a blast!
All the best,
Matt
You are so lucky to be able to flit here and there in Europe with relative ease and expense.

The first day is coming to an end after 4 gaming sessions on 3 tables. Lots of fun, shot down planes sunk ships and laugh.
Just one shot from the last scenario Lancasters' Raid - a real sport.
Flying a pair of 262s I managed to score 3 Lancasters and 2 P-51s at the cost of 1 Schwalbe in the last turn. Never had such a devastating luck in WoG gaming so far (blowing my own trumpet

Luck? I think not. Unless the damage draws were all zeros on your part, Andy.The first day is coming to an end after 4 gaming sessions on 3 tables. Lots of fun, shot down planes sunk ships and laugh.

You really know how to fly planes. I did the shot analysis (how many times a plane has guns on target) for one of our Skype games, and you outshot everyone by two to one.
Way to go, Andy!

And SoG games were quite popular among participants. The ships and 3D terrain made the games really stunning.

OOoooh, nice action!
Here is a picture of islands I made for another game. The islands are Gale Force9 terrain, large and small hills, for Flames of War. I just did some repainting and put some Woodland Scenic grass on them. Painted the area around the base blue and found that Tamiya flat base made the white waves hitting the shore.
The 3-D terrain make the ship look really good.

A wonderful time! Not that I expected anything less...

His prop hubs get bigger when it's cold. I'm sure that's a useful feature.....
I see a repaint of the Stackard Camel in Chris's future...
Glad you all had a lovely time!
All the best,
Matt
Great photos Andy. Plus Chris's flying Bristols presentation. (Which he forgot to take home I might add).
See you on the Dark Side......
Even more to come in a day, Neil!
Plus the movie with Boney10 and Hedebt cheering
Guys, those of you who want to get the link to my cloud with pics and footage please send me a PM with your emails - I will reply with a proper link.

Ok...It means the engines in his Camels are Bristols
No propeller blades.
How to turn those engines on?

At least he has something nice to hang onto when it goes down
