    Re: New to Cliffs

    Welcome to our world and community young man!

    Proud to say that Cartoon Spatula's (so funny not just writing the actual name I gave you) first flight in a Hurricane, involved a successful take off and landing.

    Looking forward to winging up with you online It will be very cool. Get ready for your first combat, and the ensuing adrenaline rush!

    Pattle (aka Dad)

    Welcome from the 'ot place up north Spatula!!
    Excellent to have another of Pattle's fam on board, and always good to have another fellow Aussie about too!

    With your first flight you just might end up giving myself and a few other pilots a run for our money
    See you in the skies

    Hi Cartoon_Spatula! Well, you are a turn up for the books...but a very welcome one! Good to have you with us...and what a time to join, with the North African campaign about to explode on our screens! It doesn't seem that long ago that I first met your Dad flying on Cliffs one day...and we 'winged up' together! He asked me lots of questions about Cliffs I thought I would 'reward' him by taking him over to France and showing him 'how things were done!' So we trekked across the Channel to Oye Plage airfield and...lo and behold.....espied a lone Stuka, obviously just taken off.

    'Right, Pat,' I said, 'You're about to have your first lesson in aerial combat! Sit up, pay attention and think yourself lucky you're with me!'

    Three minutes later we'd both been shot down by said Stuka...and Pat's never let me forget it!!!! Ha ha! But it only goes to show that we have a lot of very experienced and highly skilled pilots on this sim, who can do extraordinary things...even when flying Stukas! It'll be great to have you 'wing up' with us in the future and...don't worry.....I'll give you lots of warning when I see a stuka!!! Salute!

    Hi Cartoon_Spatula and welcome to our forum and community.

    This is the point where I normally give advice to a new player, get teamspeak set up, check out the beginners guide etc, but I am sure that your dad has been putting you straight about all you need to know about the sim.

    Good to have you with us and I hope to wing up with you at some point, as I have done with your dad, time difference allowing

    Hello Spatula and welcome , great to have you onboard dont listen to your Dad.
    You dont have to fly Red , come and fly Blue . Learn the nuances of the 109
    we also have big Leather shorts, Bratwurst and Heino (You can google him)
    so you see your life will be complete if you come to the dark side.
    If not good luck to you anyway.
    Btw keep looking in the sun

    Don’t believe him young Spatula. He only wants to trick you as they need somebody to clean the Staffelkübelwagen and they realize that it will be a never ending struggle to keep it shining in the god damn desert. You will never come near to neither big Lederhosen nor a 109.

    And don’t google Heino, you will damage your schwarzbraune Haselnuss. Don’t google that either!

    Ah and welcome to the show!

    Welcome to Blighty !

    I taught your father everything he knows about having a freezing cold picnic.

    And he taught me some rude words in return and I learnt some Australian as well.

    It gives me great pleaseure to able to address you in your native language (please forgive my overstated pronunciation which will now be paying loudly and slightly annoyingly in your head) :

    It's not just ripper to have you here mate ! Strewth.... It's fair flamin' bonza.

    Not sure where Meyer managed to get leather shorts from, but I do know that they have some booffy breeches if that's your thing, get caught on everything until you're used to em mind. Not really ideal clothing for flying :/
