Reporting for Duty

**Nellkyn** · 09-15-2017 04:57

Hello all.

I’m Neil, currently living just outside of Durham. I grew up on the North-East coast where during WWI the town had a RFC and a RNAS aerodrome. Hadley Page O/100s flew out of the RNAS aerodrome on anti-submarine patrols and Captain W E Johns was at the RFC aerodrome.

My main interest is WWI Western Front. I’ve got the Wings of Glory rules and accessory pack with a dozen British, French and German planes. No rhyme or reason to which planes I picked up, just got them up when I saw them cheap. Just started to play a few games.

Hope to get some ideas for scenarios, campaigns and what planes to pick up in the future.

Welcome to the drome Neil from way darn sarf ! Most of the UK chaps are at Doncaster for their annual get together this weekend but should pop in to say hello in due course.
Take a look at the Over the Trenches sub forum for scenario ideas and in general discussions for an updated walk through of aircraft for plane info. Enjoy the site.

G'day Neil & welcome to the 'drome on behalf of the Pilots who fly in NSW down in Australia.

You might like to take a look at the Over the Trenches Campaign down in the WW1 section.
It is a Solo campaign & the participants take it in turn to write up scenarios which will give you some ideas.

Welcome to you from down in Bristol

Hi Neil.
I hear you had some trouble registering. that was because we were all away at our annual convention this weekend at Doncaster Air museum. Eric seems to have completed your registration, so it only remains for me to welcome you to the Drome on behalf of the UK Squadrons.
Rob.

Hi Neil, welcome to the 'Drome!

You'll find loads of useful stuff on here, and if you can't find what you want, shout and someone will point you in the right direction.

Hi Neil!
welcome to the 'Drome, from here in 'historic' Newark on Trent.
The inhabitants are a fine bunch, always ready to help with any questions! And I can heartily recommend the annual get together in Donny, having attended my first one with my youngest son only yesterday!
And the Over The Trenches campaign is a fabulous resource! I may have a lot printed out in my files.......

Hi Neil, welcome from Essex.

**Nellkyn** · 09-17-2017 12:11

Thank you all for the welcoming messages. The small problems joining up were sorted very quickly by the Admins, thanks to them.

Off to have a look at the Over the Trenches section.

**Lt. S.Kafloc** · 09-17-2017 14:54

A belated welcome Neil. If you want to get in touch just PM me and I'll get back to you poste haste. Perhaps we can arrange a game in the future. Our next venture planned up North is Vapnartak at York racecourse in February 2017. Dates to be confirmed. Just keep watching the UK Wing for messages about upcoming shows we are attending/supporting.
