6 Years

**Lt. S.Kafloc** · 01-07-2019 15:42

Well chaps I'm only a few days late in recording my 6th year on the 'Drome.

Thanks for all your support, there are too many to mention but I will pick out a few if I may and thoroughly embarrass them.

Rob (WingCo) for having faith in me and giving me a job and for the constant encouragement over the years.

Chris (Hedeby) for being there more times than I can remember and fondly known as' the other woman' to swmbo.

Eric & Sue (7eat51 & Ling) life long friends who mean more to me that I will admit in public.

Simon (Maverick) who has given me more kicks up the backside, all deserved, and for being a true friend.

Chris (Boney10) always at the end of a phone when I need a chat.

Paul (tikkifriend) for putting up with my jokes about Sunderland another friendship I cherish.

Andrzej, Sven and Daniel (Nightbomber, Marechallannes, Dansam) lifelong friends.

Lastly to Tim (flyinghelmut) for putting up with all my weird demands for the Ace of Aces games at Doncaster, without you my friend it wouldn't be what it is.

And to all the other friends and wingmen who put up with my diatribe and Geordie sense of humour a heartfelt thankyou.

Neil

Well done, my friend - I can't imagine the Forum without you here!

Having met you at Origins, it's no wonder all who know you hold you in such grand respect!

int; Here's to the next six wonderful years of reading your posts and interacting with you here and elsewhere!

Always,
Matt

Congrats on another year. Cheers!

**Vagabond** · 01-07-2019 17:27

Congratulations are definately in order, it's late and my mental faculties are a bit weak but it looks as if you've made an average of about 5 posts a day for 6 years.
Well done that man.

**OldGuy59** · 01-07-2019 17:42

I will be honoured to raise a glass to you Neil. Lots of fun, as well as technical struggles over the years. Looking to more fun, and less technical struggles over the next six.

**Teaticket** · 01-07-2019 17:48

Congrats on your 6 years of immersion in the Aerodrome and all the events you participate in over in Old Blighty. I'm honored to have met you at the first Doncaster and hope to do so again someday.

**rhodie80** · 01-07-2019 18:41

Thanks for all you have done for the Aerodrome and our community.

Well done Neil for 6 years of service & all your contributions to the forum.
Have a few on me!

**Stumptonian** · 01-07-2019 20:36

Only 6?

Just kidding (not quite up to your Geordie humoUr) but I thought you were another 8+ lifer.
Congratulations on those six years. All your contributions are what made me sure you had been here from Day One.
Join me in a Newcastle ?

Six years, and they were full ones, too. Good on ya'.

Having you here for 6 years was as rewarding as 12! Here's to another round, and better times ahead.

Sitting here in Bavaria and can't share a few beers with you, Neil...

We still have a great time at the Aerodrome.

Thank you for your steady input here. Still impossible for me to point at all the wonderful things you started and participate here, campaigns, air to ship stuff, the sniper's times, and many, many more things.
