    Circus Time event - Saturday 12 June 8 pm AEST (10 am GMT)

    Hi all,
    I have a bit of free time at the moment and have organised a Wellington outing to a mystery location in the Circus Time mission. I will be online at 8 pm AEST (10 am GMT) and hope to get a few bods along to join me either to fly the Wellingtons, have a crack at flying escort or have a crack at knocking down said Wellingtons and escort. I'm looking forward to enjoying a fly with whoever can make it. Hope to see a good number online on the 12th!
    Cheers,
    Bubba

    Re: Circus Time event Time clarification - Saturday 12 June 8 pm AEST (10 am GMT)

    A quick correction re the time for the Circus Time flight. I inadvertently posted London time as GMT. The correct time will be 8.00 pm AEST (10.00 am GMT)
    Cheers,
    Bubba

    A bit past my bed time that one..... actually, maybe a bit before my wake-up time.

    Would be cool to have another of these events at a more convinent time for the North Americans - but I feel like our ANZAC friends deserve an event at a convenient time because they're always up at 5AM or the like to come to most events!

    Well, you can sure count me in on this - looks as though you all will need all the help you can get in terms of fighter escorts, so I'll be more than happy to gear up in the old Spit once again! So, if you would so kindly pass access to that there link up above, that'd be quite fine and dandy!

    Many thanks, Miles

    Re: Circus Time event - Saturday 12 June 8 pm AEST (10 am GMT)

    Thanks to all those who came along to the Circus Time Wellington event. It was great to get back in the air with the Wellington squadron. The mission was a roaring success with pretty damned good formation flying, the target destroyed and one Bf109 swatted out of the sky on the return trip for some damage but no losses. Great shooting by whoever got him. Pretty good results given it's the first time we've flown together in a few months! A bit of excitement was had on return to base with an strafing attack from another Bf109 as we came in to land. He got a few of us on the ground, but was despatched by combined airfield defence units and fire from the Wellington gunners. Overall, an excellent evening/morning/afternoon of flying. Looking forward to more in the near future.

    But this raises a philosophical question: is it acceptable to add victory marks for aircraft on the ground, even if they're shooting back at me?

    I say go for it! A valiant effort on your part. And it added a bit of excitement at the end. Was fun manning the turret and taking pot shots at you!

    Ah, no I'm even more sorry for the CTD at the very end.
    I would have loved to share some of the 20mms of my Beau as well

    But it was BIG fun all around!
    Thanks to Bubba for organising!
    Hope for a repetition soon.

    Excellent fun mission chaps.
    Pleasure flying again.

    Many thanks Bubba for top notch briefing and navigation.

    Blew away a few cobwebs (and the industrial complex and a 109 to boot).
