218 Squadron RAF Saturday Picnic

[Dutch]

Last night was so cool, I stayed up until 8am editing this.

Please watch in full screen at 1080p if youtube will allow it!

Thanks to everyone who took part!

Frame rate dropped a bit in places, so apologies for the stuttery bits!

Wow! How many planes did you have flying together there? No launcher crashes???

[ATAG_Snapper]

Dutch, great film making!!! Watching it made feel like I was there!! :shocked:

[Dutch]

Wow! How many planes did you have flying together there? No launcher crashes???

We had four flying together with no problems other than what you'd normally expect as far as I can recall. I was mostly sitting in either the observers chair or the gunner position in Tonka's 'plane for filming and some bomb dropping analysis.

Very highly enjoyable indeed!

@Snapper - Don't tell anyone!

[ATAG_Septic]

Gripping show!

Cheers for posting.

[Tonka]

Fantastic, thanks Dutch!

That attack on the fuel depot was my favourite part!

Looking forward to trying this again sometime, but with even more aircraft. Thanks to all all who participated, including the blue's who kept us on our toes!

[Dutch]

That attack on the fuel depot was my favourite part!

Ha! Well it would be, considering that fantastic aerobatical finale, performed with nonchalante aplomb by your good self!

Pleasure being a passenger Tonks! :salute:

[ATAG_Bliss]

I'm noticing WAAAaaaaaay too much teamwork there :hpyclp:

Dutch were you sober? I think the blues are going to have their work cut out for them if more of this type of stuff starts taking place.

Btw, Dutch,... That was a fantastic clip. Thanks for sharing. :Grin:

[Dutch]

Dutch were you sober?

Not saying, for fear of incrimination either way. :bgsmile:

[Dutch]

Looking forward to trying this again sometime, but with even more aircraft.

Given that the Blue chaps experience the dreaded launcher crash when trying out formations, I'd like to see just how many Blennies we can have up at once without this being an issue.

So if anyone would be willing at say 11.00pm GMT tonight (Friday 23rd March) to give it a whirl?

Actually it doesn't even need to be exclusively Blennies, Fighter Escorts more than welcome!

[ATAG_Knuckles]

Interesting. I'll be there for sure

except now the blue team will be hovering around the light house waiting to pounce:angry:

[Dutch]

Do you know, that never once occured to me?

Good Grief my brain must be deteriorating by the hour.....

What did you say again?

[ATAG_Knuckles]

Errrrrrr ahhhhhh grubbbbb biszzzzzz

and thats why mate !

[Dutch]

Oh, yes I remember now.

More fish. Need to eat more fish.

Nice fissshhhh, we wants it. Raw. Keep nasty chipsss.....precious.

[ChiefRedCloud]

Nice video Dutch ...... would join in but the time it took to convert GMT to EST I think I missed the time ........ :pouting:

[ATAG_Knuckles]

its in two hours

[Dutch]

Thanks for sharing. :Grin:

I'm not deliberately bumping this clip, but I think it's about time some thanks were offered the other way, to be honest.

Were it not for the provision of the server, the hours/days/weeks pouring over the FMB, the attempting to please all of the people all of the time with a presently flawed jewel and continually having to listen to the not-so-veiled criticisms from people with other priorities; people like me who have to simply join the server and enjoy wouldn't have the opportunity to make these online videos, meet the people we meet and have the fun that we do.

So a big thanks to you chaps - Bliss, Watchman, Striker, Borris, Colander, Wolf and anyone else who works to provide us with a 'killer' online environment.

Nice one and Thanks! :dthumb:

[ATAG_Knuckles]

Cant agree more mate: I am having such a hoot with this: the map, the aircraft and especially the people. For the life of me I just cant figure out what these folks have to complain about.

So those that spend countless house supplying this , just so you know

I'm Loving this

THANKS :hpyclp::hpyclp:

[ATAG_Headshot]

I quite enjoyed this video. It makes me actually want to learn the Blenheim!

[ATAG_Knuckles]

Headshot

Dont be shy. If you see me on comms we can go to an open channel.

Many of us really enjoy this aircraft, it can accomplish much more than it appears
