First Light

[ozzy72]

I've been reading First Light by Geoffrey Wellum recently, and its brilliant! A must have for anyone interested in Spitfires, or WWII aviation.
So I took some shots in his honour......
Learning....


Dangerous but lovely advanced trainer (if you don't believe me try a spin!!!)

Doing the business to an 88

Forgetting to check six when taking screenies can have unpleasant consequences!!!

Turning and limping for home (port wing or Swiss cheese, you decide)..

Let us never forget the sacrifice these brave men made for our freedom.

I'm not sure about anyone else, but I have been constantly remembering ever since I bought CFS1. (about 2 years ago).

Well said ozzy

Great stuff Mark and well said.

I've got CFS3 loaded but just don't get on with it. I just seem to run out of ammo in 9.3 seconds and then don't know what to do with myself.

After seeing your shots maybe I ought to give it another try!  :)

Nice one Ozzy.

[Mr. Bones]

you get me in the mood to wheel out my spitfire again and kill some Sven Dahls and Fritz Wicks...

dammit, i'm seconds away from firing up IL-2:FB and shooting down tons of russians like Erich Hartmann. (the best WW-2 pilot ,352 kills within 2 years)

i recently read a book about the fighter pilots of WW2 ("the fighter pilots" ,by Edward H. Sims). there are some very nice stories in this book, in which many well-known pilots take part, like , R.R. Stanford Tuck (RAF), James Lacey (RAF) ,Douglas Bader (RAF), J.E. Johnson (RAF), H.J. Marseille (LW) , Erich Hartmann (LW), Adolf Galland (LW) and R.S. Johnson (USAAF).
