THE BLENNY BITES BACK! - 17th JUNE 2000UTC SERVER 1

[BOO]

Hi

So the "Boomer Blitz seemed to go ok. Next time its a RED affair so to your Blennies men!! It goes without saying that regular BLUE pilots are welcome to sample the delights of the Bristol Aircraft Company's finest!!

Several key differences to the last - first we are likely to have our little friends from Saturday against us, so ill be looking for lots of fighter support and actively engaging this!! Ill also be using the time to try and speak to a number of experienced pilots about target selection in each mission so that we may have a better plan at the turn of the server.

I'm going to my level best to give this raid the best chance of success. I hope you can join us!!

A fuller "thing" will follow when Im less hungover

S!

BOO

AWESOME IM IN. Also about an hour before opps I'd like to offer what I know about flying the blennie to any new bomber pilots. Just the basics nothing fancy. In very much a low level off the deck flyer. I can offer engine settings for max performance and load outs. My focus is skip bombing ships and low level tree top hight of airfields

Hi, Jendar.

Send me a PM if you want to learn level bombing from altitude.

Boo may request his bomber pilots to get high sometime soon.

pick a BIG target, forget everything you might know about IAS/TAS, divide by six and hit the button.

Just a bit more on things and stuff.

Whilst the last event was fun I suspect some of the RAF fighters had more of it than us poor bombers. Leading you all into the jaws of death on the first mission was, in hindsight, not exactly what I had in mind.

We are doing a lot of work to give the Blennies the best chance of at least making it to the target this time. We are developing at least one plan for each server mission so there will be less of a "ok-where?" nature to the next get together.

BLENHEIMS

If you are thinking of flying a bomber on the night I urge you to get a few hours in it and make sure you can:

• Start and roll out quickly
  
• Manage the engines in a climb and at altitude
  
• Adjust the Alt, Speed and Slip on the Bombsight
  
• Understand and use the auto pilot and adjust course using the Directional Giro adjustment

As before we cannot say for definite what the type of bombing will be until we see the map but if it comes to level bombing we will have an experienced lead who will be able to advise us on the settings to input into the sight.

If you can set controls to use the turret, do so.

As well as taking Blenni bombers I thought it would also be fun to have a few Blenni Fighters in the mix too. If this appeals to anyone please PM me so I can put a list together. There will only be a few so if any selection is needed it will be done on experience in using it as a fighter rather than inexperience of using it as a bomber if you know what I mean.

RED FIGHTERS

If anyone wants to take an active fighter role we would welcome it. I will see if I can get a fighter channel set up if its needed. Those of you who like to fly in squads or groups are likely to be given specific duties if you are up for it. The raid really will depend on fighter co-operation so again, if you think your group or squad would like to take an active part, please PM me and we can discuss how best to employ.

BLUE FIGHTERS

Bring it on! - no quarter asked - none given. Seriously, I really hope that the blues can put on the defensive show equal to the red's last effort.

TIMINGS

We will start roistering at 1930 UTC (2030 London Time) on the "Boomers Casual" channel in the ATAG TS (at the top of the squad list). Hopefully we will be blessed with a server mission start at 2000 UTC (2100 London Time).

I Hope to see you there!!

Regards

So bummed out. Could not get the time off work for this one. Any chance of doing this over a two day period in a weekend so the ones that miss one day we can at least catch the next day...sorry guys. I would have given my left N** but it was given away on the last bomber day

Sorry I didn't make it, guys. I want to see videos!

[69th_Zeb]

I need several sick days to edit 5 sorties. ha.

Several people recorded, so there should be plenty of stuff popping up soon!

[Cybermat47]

Damn, I slept in

[Dai-San]

First off I'd like to thank Boo for organising this event and it sucks that he had to miss it but I think we done him proud and I hope he gets better real soon.

Secondly I'd like to thank DRock for stepping up to the plate at short notice and providing great leadership and a calm and steady head throughout. Well done mate, great job

And lastly I'd like to thanks ATAG and everyone who turned up on both sides for a great evenings entertainment. I had a blast and judging from all the comms chatter so did everyone else. I salute you all
