One for the diary for next year

We have two tables booked for this show, one Wings WW1 and one Sails.
I will ask for helpers etc in the new year for now a heads up

Hammerhead 2020 is on Saturday 14th March at Newark Showground - The George Stephenson Exhibition Hall and the Cedrick Ford Pavilion - Gamers Lounge, which is only 2 minutes from the A1 at Newark junction

I will add to the site calendar after xmas

**Flying Helmut** · 12-24-2019 05:17

I hope to be able to attend this show

**Hedeby** · 12-24-2019 06:38

Count me in as usual, I can run a WW1 table if required, would be good to have BSG or Tripods if we have enough kit... alas I don’t have any of either.

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 12-24-2019 06:43

Should be good to go Chris. Usual routine for overnight.
Rob.

**Naharaht** · 12-24-2019 11:06

I am hoping to attend again.

**Boney10** · 12-24-2019 17:37

Thanks for the responses chaps, look forward t9 seeing you all

**Naharaht** · 03-04-2020 11:59

What are the arrangements for Hammerhead on the 14th March, please? When should I arrive and what would you like me to bring?

**Flying Helmut** · 03-05-2020 00:52

Yes, what part of "the Shop" would you like me to bring?

**Rebel** · 03-05-2020 08:59

Thought I'd done this already I will be there for sure. What table do you want me on so I know which shirt to wear?!

**Boney10** · 03-05-2020 11:59

Good evening all
Ok so for this show we have WW1 as usual, The WingCo already said he would run this, I would hope with Tim also available we will not require much in the way of extra items, if WingCo brings his kit then Tim all we would need from yourself would be clouds and banners, plus Steffi for a run about.
We can speak about this on Sunday.
David, hope to see you again here, we have the kit but if you have a favourite aircraft then bring it along for a run out.

Reg, which would you like to do, WW1 bring your fav aircraft, the sails table will be having a pirates bash as well as some Frigates, so pick a shirt and join which ever takes your fancy.

Begining of next week I will post an itenary after speaking to Chris and Tim on Sunday.

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 03-05-2020 11:59

Reg, your Admiral needs you.

Bligh.

**Hedeby** · 03-05-2020 12:01

I'll bring my WW1 stuff as per usual.

**johnbiggles** · 03-05-2020 14:06

Hi Chaps,
We might be able to attend, but I don't think we can commit to anything more than casual assist this year unless you are desperately short of bodies.
I should be back on comms more regularly now.

**Hedeby** · 03-05-2020 14:12

Welcome back John. It will be great to see you even if it’s only a flying visit.

**Rebel** · 03-05-2020 15:49

Thanks Chris I will wear the Sails shirt and probably bring the Wings shirt as well.

**tigerops** · 03-06-2020 02:55

I will probably be able to make a flying visit, be nice to meet the team.

**Hedeby** · 03-06-2020 11:13

That would be great. Hopefully see you there.

**Dirigible** · 03-08-2020 10:21

Myself and Alex (aka Dirigible 2/3) will be there to help out, too

**Hedeby** · 03-08-2020 13:33

Excellent news, see you there

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 03-09-2020 13:18

Looks as if we are going to have a really good get together.
look forward to seeing you all.
Rob.

**Lt. S.Kafloc** · 03-09-2020 13:24

My next show is Partizan in May on a Sunday. As previously stated I might have the opportunity of bringing along 2 special guests. More to follow once confirmed.

Neil

**Flying Helmut** · 03-10-2020 06:52

I'll probably bring a fair few planes along, 'coz I need to rearrange them in their KR trays, and I don't have enough room at home...…………….

**Naharaht** · 03-11-2020 11:04

Do you want us to arrive by 9 a.m. or some other time, Chris?

**Hedeby** · 03-11-2020 11:15

I’ll be there around 08:30/08:45

**Boney10** · 03-11-2020 13:53

Yes please can we arrive at the venue for 0900 to 0930 for set up and free entry otherwise its pay at the door.
If earlier then not an issue, in fact anyone getting there earlier can
I ask them to watch the chairs and get more if possible, we need 7 or 8 for each table.
I have asked for that amount but as we know chairs have a habit of moving tables early in the morning as others realise they not asked for enough.
See all Saturday

**Von Scharf** · 03-11-2020 14:51

Watching you all get ready for the big game is making me intensely jealous. Have a great get together, bring your hand sanitizer and post copious AARs, pretty please!

**Hedeby** · 03-12-2020 07:13

Fingers crossed it doesn’t get called off at last minute

**Hedeby** · 03-13-2020 01:54

The Hammerhead show is going ahead within government guidelines. There will be additional hand wash stations throughout.
Incidentally looking at the list of participation games we are down for..... Napoleonic Sails of Glory and ... Sails of Glory, sounds like boaty boy pirates have plundered our aeroplane table, don’t worry Tim, we will fight back.

**Boney10** · 03-13-2020 10:55

And? Dont see a problem

**Hedeby** · 03-13-2020 11:18

Lol, that’s fighting talk sir

**Hedeby** · 03-13-2020 13:01

Can someone bring a couple of extra mats please as I only have the 2
Thank you

**Naharaht** · 03-13-2020 18:12

Wilco, Wing Co.

**Hedeby** · 03-14-2020 11:36

Great turn out at Hammerhead in Newark today, so huge thank you (in no particular order, I hasten to add) to, F.O. Kyte, Boney 10, Maverick, Flying Helmut, Reg, Dirigible (and son), Doug, John Biggles and Ruth, Naharat, one of our new recruits Tiger Ops, one alas unidentifiable member and yours truly..... AAR to follow later...

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 03-14-2020 13:36

I would just like to add my thanks to all atendees today.It made for a really good time.
Especial thanks go to the Wingco for carrying on the great tradition started by me.
The extinguisher is under the seat sir.
Also thanks for Simon and Chris for helping me to reduce my Port mountain yesterday.
It was great to have you both to stay and get a couple of games in.
Rob.

**Dirigible** · 03-14-2020 14:11

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to gun my child down (both aircraft!!!) earlier!!

It may be some time before he is allowed to forget..

**tigerops** · 03-14-2020 15:02

It was good to be able to put faces to a few names.

**Hedeby** · 03-15-2020 02:11

We aim to please

**johnbiggles** · 03-15-2020 02:16

Ruth and I both had a good time, usually we take opposite sides and I die early at her hands, this time, we were at opposite corners in a 5 a side game, so never met!
I ended up trying to shoot down a balloon, with three Fokkers trying to prevent me, including the feared Flying Helmut. I never did get the balloon down, even my attempt to ram it failed (0c,0c) but doubtless Tim's pictures will tell the story in due course.
Great to see old friends in congenial rivalry once more.

**flash** · 03-15-2020 04:40

Look forward to seeing the pics - make the most of it, it might be the last for a while by the sounds of things.

**Naharaht** · 03-15-2020 16:32

Welcome to the Aerodrome, Mick, from here near Norwich. It was good seeing you at Hammerhead yesterday.

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 03-17-2020 03:16

Just a few random pics I managed to get of Tim's game, between my other committments!
Rob.

Please note that no aircraft was knowingly up gunned.

**Hedeby** · 03-17-2020 06:28

Upgunned!!!!! Mine were barely gunned...

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 03-17-2020 08:23

I never mentioned anything about the lack of strength of FIRE power Chris.

Rob.

**tigerops** · 03-17-2020 12:36

A few of mine of Tims game and that well ard balloon.

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 03-17-2020 13:44

Nice photos Mick.
Rob.

**Hedeby** · 03-17-2020 14:54

Some nice photos there, Tim resplendent...

**Stumptonian** · 03-17-2020 16:29

Rob
I noticed your pics above have the blue outline but are not duplicated.
How did you manage that?

If you select images but don't post them inline from the file manager they'll still be attached to the post but appear after the text.
That's why you may get the odd one that's been missed from an AAR.

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 03-18-2020 04:48

I am still getting every picture duplicated with the attatchment, but as long as there is some text you have put in you can post, then edit your post. Cut the originals, save changes and the attatchments alone remain.

For AAR's where text is required between pictures you have to post as an album first and then open each picture, copy the BB code, and post that in the document where you wish the picture to appear.
A long and trying process if you have a big AAR.
That is why my AAR's are now few and far between.
Rob.
