VBBMF

[cspyro21]

Hey all,
After the BBMF display at the airshow, quite a few of you wanted to start up a VBBMF (Virtual Battle of Britain Memorial Flight).

I said I'd put up a post about it - here it is

If you want to be part, say so, any suggestions etc on how to get this rolling?

(NOTE: this is unofficial, and if it's already been done, I suppose you might call this the SimV VBBMF )

i'd love to take part in this, pity we can't add the vulcan sometimes just to spice things up  ;)

Why don't we Nemo? Those lads seemed to love your addition, and whoever winds up running the VBBMF probably wouldn't mind

So it's new, total name is....

SimVVBBMF+Vulcan

would love to take part.

instead of making it a VBBMF, why not an RAF historical flight?? then you can use all of the RAF oldest and greatest, but have a small detachment that are the BBMF. then everyone is happy

[Mynameisnemo]

then i'm definately up for it...... will fly any of the aircraft, just need to find a better vulcan thats not payware lol.

Great idea
ill fly the Hurricane Mk IIa LE-D as i flew in the show.

We need more fighter jocks to get maybe a big fighter show going with brakes infront of the crowd and stuff

current list of active planes from BBMF site
Spitfire Mk IIa
Spitfire LF IXe
Spitfire Mk V B
Spitfire PRXIX x2
Hurricane Mk IIc x2
C-47
2 Chippies
...and a Lancaster  ;D

That would be even better,than we can add planes like the Hunter, Gnat,Typhoon and stuff
maybe add a jet division??

I'd stick to historic types... nothing more modern than a Vulcan or Lightning...

the vulcan was thrown in basically at the last minute, due to my pm'ing little charlie over a flight my dad had when he was in the raf, since the pm it was kept as a surprise until tonight  ;).

i can see this branching out into a few different eras though.

Too bad i cant follow development of this in the next 2 weeks becouse im at holliday in france as of tomorrow

Make something great gentleman, ill check again in 14 days

[F3Hadlow]

I'd be happy to try my hand with the lumbering Dak!

[cspyro21]

I'm still sticking with the Spit guys For now, I'll use Paul Rebuffat's Mk IXc (probably here at SimV) but if anyone can find a decent Mk II/MK V spit I'll be a happy Charlie

kl kl, well, we would need to figure out which displays to do, how many pilots needed etc etc...

good historic flight, a hunter with 2 gnats either side. saw that a leuchars last year. sexy display.

i like the idea of a dog fight kinda thing. would be a nice touch.

next thing i suppose is, what woudl be in a RAF histrical flight?

[Tweek]

How about a Canberra with that? I wouldn't mind flying a PR9
