    Well, in the case of "football" I had been wondering about the wrong-seeming name (as explained by Cleese). But now you told us, that it once used to be played ONLY BY FOOT, which is the first time I heard that - and THEN the name makes sense in a way (although maybe they should have changed the name WITH the rules). Yeah, that's ONE thing we can't make the Americans responsible for. Mmuahahahaaa!!!

    Congrats to this fine find, Lou. Again one such extraordinary item has found you. You must have realised by now, they THEY find YOU, right? I wish you, that more of them find their - affordable - ways to your/their caring home, Sir.

    I read about similar reports here before, but never had the problem myself. So I hope for you, that some of those guys see your message and help you. Good luck, Igor! When your problems are solved, I'd like to get a message from you with your town and country - I'll add you to our OFF Forum Pilots Map then.

    Thx for the recom, Lou - and you know: we want to see PHOTOS of the tunic! Congrats on your find - I guess it's an original uniform?

    Thank you for the title - that way I could find several copies at ABEBOOKS. http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=Harold+Evans+Hartney&sts=t&tn=Up+and+at+%27em

    Geeze, they had a tough sortie that day. But seems they remained very cool. Yeah, I still have to explore about the Canadians. The Australians too. Robert, maybe you could list your top five books by Australian WW1 flyers?

    I'm Category 3: "...running it under Windows 7 (32bit). Talented? Not about computers. But yeah, describe how far you get and what happens - that should help detecting the problem. Tried it with AV program switched off? In the past, some of those programs caused problems, if I remember that correct.

    Hey, I got that! No one ever bothered to explain it to me that simple! Florian, that's a good one too - but not really funny IMHO. It has a strong ring of truth, though.

    Yesterday I read this from Albert Einstein - many of you may know it, but it was new to me, and I like it: "The universe and the human stupidity are both infinite. Though - I'm not yet totally sure about the universe there."

    Huh! Christmas! Santa Claus! Gifts and presents! Still believe in that child stuff? Real amateurs you are! I have let printed 20.000 copies of my wish list and sent them to the North Pole - THAT'S how to boost chances! Mwahahahahahaaa!!!

    Ditto here - the benefits of getting older! Mmuahahahahaaa!!!

    Lou, my advice: do the reading and spend time with the family. I have given up on even lesser tasks, like the red-white "Barberpole Albatros" - I just don't have the patience that would be necessary to make all the ends meet.

    Tony, I guess you will be up and bouncing again before that happens. And I am sure you'll triple enjoy it then!

    Just found these photos at the San Diego Air & Space Museum archives on FLICKR - over 1.900 photos, always worth to stroll through. This was a real tough paintjob - who wants to try it and copy that? http://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives

    Tony, don't let the diagnose make you head-shy. I read that the chances of recovery are good nowadays. And I wish you the best for your surgery, and after.

    Guys, for books, this is a good address: http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=taylor&sts=t&tn=Sopwith+Scout+7309

    I'm wondering if people develop extremely funny ideas, when they live on an island for a very long time? ... ...but I like John Cleese's explanation of football (Americans better watch something else - Mmuahahaaa!!!):
  19. Olham
    Naw, it's me usual face! Mmuahahahahaaa!!!

    Ah, I see - but I think you should be a tad more generous there. After all it is about aviation during the Great War, and that's more on topic than maybe most of the recent threads (and recent means a year or so...).

    Thanks for the reminder in the other thread, Dej - I answer here, cause this may be noticed more, when it's brought up again. I missed it when you posted it first - maybe the "OT" stopped me. Why should this book be "off-topic", I wonder? I'll definitely search for it, as your tips about "No Parachute!" and "Open Cockpit" were so spot-on, Sir!

    If it was that easy... But for them it must have been an incredible release to be through with that war - a war that taught all nations, how terrible a war of highly developed industrial nations was. (Not that any other war was easy, though...)

    Well, this was posted on 26 December 2012, so it can't be an April fool's joke. Sounds like it was true... http://www.warhistoryonline.com/featured-article/how-allied-fliers-used-monopoly-to-escape-from-german-pow-camps.html And here's a link which seems to show some of the silk printed maps: http://www.mapforum.com/04/escape.htm

    Could you tell a little more about Taylor's book, Dej?
