Capt. Sopwith, the movie had the same effect on me. And how could it not? RAF_Louvert, you seem to have been tasting the right combination of spices with the Gluhwein too often, have you? I didn't know that guy, but I also liked "Who hid the Halibutt on the Poop Deck". Wayfarer, you copy the line from the little address window in YouTube, and paste it into your post.

Pilots are hard to kill - 7 markets with (at least!) seven Glühwein - and you still can walk?

Well done, Hasse Wind - I was afraid it was too difficult, so I made it a bit easier. Which in your case obviously was too easy. Okay, here comes the next one - Whose town is this?

...and the other two: Fröhliche Weihnacht überall Alle Jahre wieder http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AL16YujhSJQ

The merriest joyful tune I know in German is "Kling Glöckchen klingelingeling". Here are most of the other Christmas songs I know and like. Kling Glöcklein klingelingeling Lasst uns froh und munter sein

The Pups are especially nice, with the metal shimmering.

Next two pictures are ready. Here comes the first. In this case, I'm not sure if I'm in the right place, cause I have lost some of my text files with the towns of pilots. I hope I'm right. Whose town is this?

Hey, that's funny! Cause just two days ago felt a crave for trout caviar, when I passed the fish department in my favourite shop. I bought it and ate it all in one go. We should listen to our body - it can speak! Von Paulus: But we are having some low temperatures, in the place where I live between 4ºC and 10ºC. I'm freezing. I will adore you, when I find the time, von Paulus. At 4°, I have still done signwriting outdoors! Tch - Portugese people!

Snow as high as in your places, Lou and Hasse Wind, is rare here. But winter depression is something I know. What I didn't know is, that vitamin D might help. I'll get me some. Here are pics from Ostfrieland, where I was born; the Brandenburger Tor, Berlin; and the "Weihnachtsmarkt" on Alexanderplatz.

For all who wanted to see a German claim, I have translated MvR's 66. claim report. I did not try to make it the perfect English way, but rather to follow the German order of grammatics (as far as possible), to keep the "German touch" of it. The Canadian pilot, who was lucky enough to survive a "meeting" with the "Red Baron", was Lieutenant W. G. Ivamy, 54 Sqdn, RFC. (66. victory) Fighter Squadron 1. 18.3.1918 11.15 h a.m. at the Road Molai - Vaux Andigny, 600 m southwest Molain Sopwith-Camel-1 English; Aircraft-Number: B 5243 Engine: Clerget 35751 Fok.Dr.I.152; red upper wing, red Cowling (Hood), red Wheels and red Tail. 1 Canadian, captured. I started with 30 Aircraft of my Squadron and flew in tight Formation, leading all 3 Staffeln, at 5300 m Altitude towards the Enemy. As we approached the Front, I saw several english Squadrons which were just flying across our Lines, about the direction Le Cateau. The first Squadron that encountered me was at about 5500 m Altitude. I shot (together) with Lt. Gussmann, Jasta.11 the rearmost of the Opponents, a Bristol-Fighter down. He lost the Wings and Lt. Gussmann brought him near Jencourt down. After that I gathered my 30 Aircraft, climbed to 5300 m and followed two Squadrons, that had broken through (all the way) to Le Cateau. When the Opponent(s) attempted to turn away and to get back to the Front, I attacked. The Aircraft flying next to me, apparently a Breguet or Bristol-Fighter, was strafed by me and Lt. Loewenhardt, Jasta.10, after which the Opponent's Tank got shot kaput and I saw, how the Aircraft went down vetically. Lt. Loewenhardt brought it down. Of two english Singleseater-Squadrons I attacked one aircraft with Streamers and forced the Opponent to land near Molain. Witnesses of the Air Combat: see Attachment!

It is exactly the house I thought it was. Cheers, Lou!

Great, Lou, you are the first who recognised his town. (And maybe I have found your Chateau - if it has a veranda)

Here are the solutions for the first two pictures I had posted (they will get deleted to make space): Town One: Newcastle upon Tyne Hometown of Widowmaker Barras Bridge, near Haymarket; looking at the "Crow's Nest" Pub Town Two: Fort Myers, Florida Hometown of UncleAl County Highway 865 to Fort Myers Beach, crossing 5th Avenue; looking at Wahoo Willie's & Billfish Bar And here is the next one - the Google Street View car must have driven through some dusty roads before; all pictures I got from this town were of a low quality lense. There are beautiful sidestreets surely, but Google only drove along the main road. And I don't necessarily pick the most famous views, but rather those I find somehow interesting. Whose Town is this?

jlan5013, just right-click on the map and use "save as..." to save it where you want.

Made me want to fly one of the Albatros - they must have been tired from flying all the way down there.

Update 3 December; 2010; 17:37 h Berlin time (= GMT + 1) Dej, England, moved. All the maps are in post 1 of this thread

Is it really too hard? Maybe some of you don't find this game a good idea? If you don't want to be in this game, please send me a PM (but only then - I don't want to get flooded with PMs).

Ah - I checked that, but didn't know, that it's different for guests. Okay, will do.

Yes, Dave, I have seen the HOTSPUR on my way, near Haymarket. Alright, here comes No. 3 - this one should be easy (I hope) and there may be two or three pilots recognising it. Hmm - wasn't easy? This is Johannesburg, South Africa - home of Winder and JimAttrill.

This is either tougher than I thought, or the two OFFers haven't seen it yet. Maybe that not everybody knows single buildings from a photo? Me, I'm an "eyes person", I remember interesting spots and buildings, but maybe not everyone? If they don't solve it, I will tell where it is, tomorrow evening. I will post two more pictures later on today.

Looks like I can fill the Entente airfield gaps in my map with your help, Lou. And when it's ready, you may find some more German fields in mine.

Hey - seems half of the members of "Planet OFF" know that bus line??? Only the fellow who lives there doesn't seem to notice.

Seems I better change the game a little. An OFF Pilot might be on holidays, and it would take ages, 'till he'd find the pic. So I will post more, if someone doesn't react. So, here's our next picture: Whose town is this? Picture got deleted again: Fort Myers, Florida County Highway 865 to Fort Myers Beach, crossing 5th Avenue; looking at Wahoo Willie's & Billfish Bar

I googled this some time ago, and only found two of his claims: the 66. and the 80. as posted by JFM.

Welll - but go out without the gun, please, and really only salt yourself in the white stuff.
