Chuffy's Flying Circus

Most certainly Conky, you could WhatsApp me on +971551943089 closer to the time, and we will see what can be arranged.

All is well thanks Conky. The spitfire in our barn is code UP X. Apparently, there were two with the same code, by mistake. So they put a white bar top and bottom of the X on one of them. I have a photo of that, but the one in our barn is the original, without the white bars. James, the owner, has some gun cam footage somewhere, I'll see if he will let me have a copy, but understandably, he is very reluctant to publicise anything, as he constantly is pestered for visits and photos. Photo bucket appears to be a pay site now, is there anything else that could be used for free?

Let's hope it's a better New year this time around chaps. Have a good one!

Hello Conky, chances are I will still be in Dubai on the 22nd. Hurrah! Best thing to do on a layover is go to Dubai Mall. Sounds dull, but it's quite incredible. The aquarium, and the fountains under the Burj Khalifa are a must see.
I've read of the suffering Fitz, and am currently experiencing it first hand, in Edinburgh!
Pip pip.

On the subject of Spitfires, I have one being restored in my small barn at home! The chap I rented my house to is a pilot with the Old Flying Machine Company, and he has a Mkviii that was originally RAAF based in the Solomon Islands. I'll post a photo or two when I have time, and a little of the back story.

Greetings Chuffolites.
I trust that all are well in these virulent times. Thought I would check in briefly to let all know that despite my great age, I am still working out here in the sand pit, and have just been offered a new 4 year contract in the very dry confines of Riyadh. Thankfully, Dubai is but a short flight away.
I doubt that many will see this post, as the last update here appears to have been in 2021. Best wishes to all for a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.
Stay Moist,
Binks

Welcome back Paladin. Still at it, though because of time differences, personally I fly on the SAS server on hyperlobby at the moment. Everyone is flying Il2 upgraded to 4:12, with the UP3 RC4 mod pack overlay, Chuffys, and SAS.

Bon chance.

Sounds as depressingly real as the actual events Ted, with great loss, for little gain, and grindingly relentless nervous stress. I'm very impressed by your tenacity, I never really got to grips with ROF, but your accounts make it sound very worthwhile, if a trifle tense. Bon chance!

If it's not going to cost me any more Camels, I'll go back to sleep for a bit........

Thank you very much ol' chap. I shall customise mine in my usual cryptic fashion. 

Hi Iceshade,

we fly UP3 RC4, the download is available here;

Dont worry about being a mayonnaise eater, just don't let matron know!

I've never been seduced into purchasing CoD because of all the negative press, but this looks as if it may be worth a punt.

Aha, another sandpit wallah! Welcome effendi. 

I've had a play around too, and managed to get the 262's to take off from a carrier, the Mig 9 is a good match for it, but the Yak 15 is suicidally slow in comparison. Perhaps the Bf 109 Z might be fun against the Yak. I agree with Conky that the earlier jets, and the late higher powered prop aircraft make a good mix.

Happy to have a go at one Fitz.  Might be a while though. I'll post which aircraft I've chosen, so we don't get a repeat set.
