at risk of derailing this thread... Pol, what is that curious object you are using for an avatar?

Take another look: off_Fokker_DVII_OAW_ace_t_Jasta 4 1918_Ernst_Udet.dds I think it was Makai's work - forgive me Stachel if I've got this wrong shredward

Yep, Paarma has really put a huge effort, and months worth of work into this. He had a vision, and though we knew what he was up to, and seen bits and pieces of it, seeing them as they will be awarded has been astonishing. They really are quite beautiful. Bravo Paarma!

Shredward is the formal appellation. It's a ski thing. Informally, I'm Ted Shred, or the Shredder, or Shred for short.

Now that's what I call fun! shredward

And the last one has passed beyond the sight of men. At the going down of the sun, And in the morning We will remember them.

Thankyou Jason! Voices of sanity and reason are always welcome! Cheers, shredward

This is the Bow River at the foot of our garden.... The little one is 21 days old today, but who's counting? Shredward

The snow is almost gone now.... Cheers, shredward

D.2370 was a DIII flown by Vzfw Joseph Kettel. That serial is pretty close to the two that we can see in the photo, so I'm fairly confident that is a Ja 50 lineup. The pattern and number of the diagonals on the horizontal stab were what suggested to me the unit. Cheers, shredward

Yeah, that's what I was looking at as well. I'm going to see if I can match any of the serial numbers. Cheers, shredward

I've never seen this photo, but my guess is Jasta 50. I'll look into it. Cheers, the shredder

Hi Guys, I moved Pips post to the Archives, and copied it into Markl's post, but yep, these historical gems are courtesy of Pips. Just wanted to clear that up! Cheers, shredward

Yeah, the souped up Spud 7 was used right to the end of the war, and favoured by many pilots because it was more manoeurable. With any luck, and many hours on Pol's part, we can get some more upengined machines. But again, like always, it's a question of so much to do, and not enough hands or hours in the day. Cheers, shredward

So you were at the Shuttleworth! Lucky bugger Cheers, shredward

Well, I'm certain we can identify the cockpit, but I won't give it away. But, I had heard rumours that there was one on the Island - please do tell us more when one of your listeners reveals the identity. It would be too cool if this photo was taken at Nanaimo airport, named for one of the Island's most famous sons. Cheers, shredward

Good Call Duce!!! shredward

Hi Guys, As you will recall, we lost our Forum home a little while back, for various reasons, but the root of it was a simple lack of respect for each other, and by that I mean all members of the Great War sim community. Venom seems to visit various fora at one time or another, and things can get out of hand, tearing a community apart, and driving good people away. It has reared it's ugly head here, and I have seen some of our friends just slip away. It is going to stop, here and now. We want discussion of our sim - what is good, what is bad, and what needs work. If you feel compelled to talk about another sim, same thing applies. And if someone posts an opinion of this or another sim that you don't agree with, feel free to say so, and why. But that guy is not an idiot or a jackass because his views differ from yours. Everyone's opinion is equally valid.Flaming and trolling will not be tolerated. If you are incensed about something, cool off before you post, or just pm them. We are all friends here. Cheers, Shredward

No Worries CJ, Main thing is that this Forum be a place where everyone feels comfortable and can enjoy being here. Regards, shredward
