Looks like lots of fun being had by all, Sven! Good to see Karl wearing an appropriate shirt for a change...

Keep having fun and taking pictures

All the best,

How very dare you !

**BobP** · 09-16-2017 12:25

Great pictures. I love the terrain for the sails game. That looks like a really good breakfast.

**Marechallannes** · 09-16-2017 15:22

Started the day with the Battle of the Nile/Abukir, went to some BoB games and get a final sailing lesson with the Battle of Lissa.

**Marechallannes** · 09-16-2017 15:25

More BoB...

**Marechallannes** · 09-16-2017 15:28

Fatal tripple collision at Lissa and debriefing...

**milcoll73** · 09-16-2017 17:40

Pete, posting this makes you a very brave or not so bright boy. I'd be very careful when there is a heavy knocking on your door.

**Teaticket** · 09-16-2017 18:50

Thanks Sven. A lot of great looking games. Looking forward to more photos!

**Naharaht** · 09-16-2017 19:10

It looks like everyone is enjoying themselves. That is a spectacular burning ship marker, which you photographed, Sven.

I'll make sure I have brandy on hand

**Oberst Hajj** · 09-16-2017 20:18

Thanks for posting pics Sven... really wish I could be there as well.

**gully_raker** · 09-16-2017 22:30

Fantastic photos Sven!
Well done mate.
Love your flying helmet & goggles!

**Marechallannes** · 09-17-2017 01:12

Thank you comrades. I think you get more pictures next week from the U.K. Members.

Just two last ones with Rob presenting his German WW cruiser for Karl's "Sink the von-der-Tann" mission.

Now I have to leave to earn the Blue Max from in a Sky full of "Engländers"!

**matt56** · 09-17-2017 03:45

Lots of great action shots as well as socializing shots, Sven! It's great being able to see the nametags, too, and put faces to the names one sees on the Form. The picture of you and Neil and Karl is particularly nice - 3 Lend-Lease Lads all in a row...

It looks like the Doncaster crew is showing Karl an excellent time - glad to see he's enjoying it (not that I thought it would be any different, mind...)

All the best,
Matt

**grumpybear** · 09-17-2017 05:41

Thanks for the pics .

**Nightbomber** · 09-17-2017 08:29

Although I could not make Doncaster this year for some professional duties that had to be fulfilled right in that time

your pics Sven brought back sweet memoirs from the past. Thanks! I do hope I will join this merry gang of pilots next year, refreshing the bonds of pilots' brotherhood

**Marechallannes** · 09-17-2017 10:16

Had a great time today - Ace of Aces tournament.

One aerial victory and being shot down 5 times...

You'd better be prepared to stump up more than just a pint, my lad!

Both, I suspect!

Having sent Pete a little something earlier this year, the fool provided me with his address....................................

Thank you for sharing the pics!
We had a brilliant time yesterday! Thank you to all for making us feel welcome!

You'd be welcome any time, Tim.

Sorry, but when I saw the juxtaposition of the original photos I just had to do it.

**matt56** · 09-17-2017 12:17

Great to see more pictures from events today - again, putting faces with the names on the Forum is wonderful.

Looks like lots of fun was had, although I'm not sure about Simon's costume for the Ace of Aces Tourney...

All the best,
Matt

**BobP** · 09-17-2017 12:33

Great photos of all the games. As others have said everyone looks like they are having a wonderful time. BoB terrain looks great. Add a different dimension to the game.

**Maverick** · 09-18-2017 00:33

Glad to see you captured the best view of Maverick!

That's why I took the photos rather than being in them!

**Lt. S.Kafloc** · 09-18-2017 08:45

Good. At least one photo where I am smiling.

Great pics Sven. Captured the atmosphere of the games and a run down of who was there.

Planning started for next year on the go.
