Something we are good at finally: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-15901351 UK women are 'fattest in Europe' Statisticians looked at the 19 European states data was available for The UK has more obese women than any other country in Europe, according to European Union figures. Data agency Eurostat, which looked at 19 countries, found nearly a quarter of UK women - 23.9% - were recorded as being obese in the year 2008 to 2009. Just over 22% of UK men were classed as obese, coming second only to Malta. A person is defined as obese if their body mass index (BMI), the result of a calculation involving weight and height, is above a certain level. The BMI correlates fairly well with body fat. Statisticians found the share of overweight and obese people increases with age in all of the 19 member states that data was available for. The data come from the European Health Interview Survey (EHIS) and was published by Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union. Its figures for the UK were based on data from England, although surveys suggest the percentage of obese adults in Wales and Northern Ireland is similar and Scotland's latest health report put the figure at 28%. After the UK, the countries with the highest levels of female obesity were Malta, with 21.1%, and Latvia, where 20.9% fulfilled that criteria. Meanwhile, after Malta and the UK, the countries with the highest instances of male obesity were Hungary - where 21.4% fall into that category - and the Czech Republic, where 18.4% are classed as such. The UK's high levels of obesity are in stark contrast to those in countries such as Romania, where just 8% of women were classed as obese along with 7.6% of men. Obesity levels were also found to be low in Italy, Bulgaria and France. In Italy, 9.3% of women were found to be obese and 11.3% men. Meanwhile, in Bulgaria levels of obesity for women and men were found to be 11.3% and 11.6%, with levels of France identified as being 12.7% and 11.7% respectively. The figures suggested that the proportion of women who are obese or overweight falls as the educational level rises. Last month, Health Secretary Andrew Lansley launched a bid to reduce obesity levels in England by 2020. The minister said people need to be honest with themselves about how much they eat and drink. He said that, overall, Britons should be eating five billion fewer calories a day than at present.

Happy Birthday Erik :drinks:

BBC also state that he killed himself (via the Welsh FA) Jaw dropped when I saw the news today - he got the MBE last year, was doing really well with Wales and various Team mates who spoke to him yesterday like Robbie Savage say he seemed in good spirits - he was on Football Focus yesterday - just goes to show A total legend of the game - pretty sad for his family. RIP

What patch level are you running at ?

Might be info in some old threads - like this: http://combatace.com/topic/27931-phantom-tactics/page__p__156003__hl__phantom__fromsearch__1?do=findComment&comment=156003

Had no idea

Looks good - got any in games shots - without weapons ideally

SF2V has many changes over WOV (which is no longer developed) - many improvements particularly AI - but Thirdwire are not out for all out realism - so A-A refueling is not in the game by default. F-100s actually flew MiGCap/CAP/RESCAP and escorted F-105s up North at the start of Rolling Thunder - before being replaced in that role for many reasons - so thats okay. The Marines would have probably flown mainly CAS in support of troops - SF2V still has mainly strategic targets in campaigns like wov - so pretty much the same - there are user made missions etc and campaigns that probably address this. SF2V actually has more a/c - but the A-6 was dropped as flyable - apparently due to the avionics code they wanted to put in it. These are new aircraft additions in SF2V that are not in WOV taken from another thread: A-1H - new model and skins (No Pit) A-1J - new model and skins (No Pit) A-7B (71) A-7C (71) A-7C - new A-7C model A-7D - new A-7D model and new unique cockpit A-7E - new A-7E model and new unique cockpit F-100D (64) - new model and new unique 1964 cockpit F-100D (68) - new model and new unique 1968 cockpit F-105D(66) F-4B(65) F-4B(67) F-4C(67) F-4D(67) F-4E(72) - slatted with longer gun muzzle F-8C F-8C(66) F-8D F-8D(66) F-8E(66) F-8H F-8H(69) F-8J F-8J(69) J-6 - (No Pit) MiG-17PF - (No Pit)

Unbelievable - that's some flying there

wow - good deal is all I can say!

In the UK the 11th is known as Armistice day and a 2 minute silence is held at 11am yearly . The nearest Sunday to Armistice Day is called Rememberence Day/Sunday - which is today - again a national 2 minute silence is observed and a bigger ceremony takes place. for a month or so Poppies have to be worn by politicians and everybody on TV and they are sold to the public to raise money for the Royal British Legion which helps Veterans. Last year was a record year - due to current conflicts the events are very popular. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-15710473

Good luck with that then - see you in about 3 years

Side Top - looks generally okay

Just left for now - bulge is shown in post #181:

also in http://combatace.com/topic/68727-another-red-arrow-pilot-dies-in-ejection-incident/

Well done the engine is sorted now - also like the extra shark fin its grown front CFT looks much better - would try to work on the side view of the CFTs if possible. Youve left off the bulge under the canopy? Nose and air intake on F-16s are very difficult to get right - defo not far off though......

CFT side view:
