What Ho!

**Graham** · 12-06-2020 04:54

Hello all, new member reporting in.

I’m new to Wings of Glory WW1, but an experienced gamer and RPG author (when not doing my day job). I’m based in the Worcestershire area, having recently moved out of the city (Brum). I’ve already purchased a number of aircraft (it’s rather addictive I’m finding)...

My knowledge of WW1 aircraft is currently basic, but I aim to improve it. I’m also dipping a toe into WW1 fiction, and have Goshawk Squadron on order.

Great to be here,

Cheers!

Greetings Graham. You will find this forum a very welcoming place. With lots of folk that are more than happy to pass on their sagely advice to new pilots

Hi there Graham, welcome aboard. Once all this virus thing is over, hope to meet you at one of the shows/events.

(welcoming head bobs) from the lizard here in the 'States.
Be sure to check the files section for scads of ad-ons, like "unofficial" aircraft, scenarios, playmats, DYO campaigns, etc.
And if you're looking to expand your collect, check out the sale/trades/wanted threads, check the aerodrome store, and if you have any modeling skills, consider Shapeways. Be wary of EvilBay, rare stuff does pop there every now and then, but it's likely going to cost a metric buttload of money. There are exceptions, of course, so if you do see something that, grab it while you can.

Welcome to the Aerodrome Graham from an extremely foggy Dorset this morning.

Welcome to the 'Drome' Graham from a cold and dreary West Yorkshire. Look at the file section, lots there for everyone.
Fly safe and always watch your 'Six'.

Bienvenue from Brittany Graham. Love the Derek Robinson books but you might try Sagittarius rising by Cecil Lewis. Real pilot in 56 Sq and a great read for getting the feel of what it was like back then.

A warm welcometo you, from me in Bristol

Welcome to the Aerodrome from New England.

Hi Graham. Welcome from a currently wet and windy Devon.

I’ve already purchased a number of aircraft (it’s rather addictive I’m finding)...

Careful buddy, otherwise you'll end up like the rest of us, with no spare space to store more models

Enjoy

I’ll second what Paul says about Sagittarius Rising, terrific book.

Welcome from Nottinghamshire Graham.
I have several of Robinson's books. If we can meet at a show next year I will pass them on to you to read, if you remind me to bring them.
Rob.

Budget deficit, it's the only way to build a proper air force. (read acquire a reasonable collection!)
