CBFiles is currently offline for complex maintenance and is likely to be down for the weekend. Apologies for any inconvience. Normal service to be resumed as soon as possible.

Thank you for that Don

Rob English (TheHappyOtter) has been working on some major changes for the "Pond" for sometime, this combined with the stupidity factor today has forced him to take it off line for the weekend while upgrades, clean up and a name change is accomplished. Those of us in the Admin there apologise for any inconvience , and if you wish to access Dave Moly's Auster V or any of the other other new items I will be glad to send them on -- Again the "hack" did NOT affect the library or any of the files in it....they are all fine, but it seemed a good time to take care of everything at once. Hopefully some of the other niggling problems will be cured at the same time.

Tom if you could - would you be so kind as to sticky this so your forums wont get cluttered up with questions about our site.

Again -- everything will be back as normal on Monday.

Thank you

Thanks for the update, Lief. Sorry about the "hack." Look forward to the "re-opening".

Sorry to hear about the hack Lief. Hope you all are able to get things back online soon. You all have a wonderful site that I have enjoyed visiting.

All the best,

T.
 
Leif, is this a simple way of telling us loft members over there to stop Annoying Keith and Moly? :icon_lol:

look forwards to it being back... now is there any chance you can mail me over the Chilton, accidentally deleted the bugger from my FS.... and yes i did check my recycle bin :icon_lol:
 
Annoy me ? nah! all in good fun - I relish good [LINESTRIKE]arguments [/LINESTRIKE] learned discussions:). I'm far too long in the tooth, being retired. I finally learnt to chill out after my by-pass op.
Cheers

if you need FSV (The Train Powered DW1a) I will shoot it to you

Thanks Dave for filling in

Rob English is working keeping the Midlands safe from Villians today but he has promised to have the site back up and running by early monday (GMT)

Here is G-AFSV the DW1a file with the added bonus of Peter Watkins red and black racing version already included.

Thanks Dave, going to get her all prepped for the morning and depart the second the sun rises... if i'm lucky i'll get to southern Germany by tomorrow night :icon_lol:
 
testing field in Greece...

:applause:testing field in Greece? Phew, that sounds close to home Smoothie!
Thats where I do my own testing...on the Aegean if its amphibious... oops, that reminds me...
thought this thread; "maintenance work on "the pond" was about an updated version of the new seaplane model, the Martin Mars by Jens B Kristensen that maybe I'd missed!:mixedsmi:

anyway, bet you lads are waiting for the Martin Mars too, and just pretending you're not!

If any of you gents see Jens, just tell him...

:applause:We wants our MARS!:salute:
 
Nigel, i was born on Kos, lived in Larisa, just outside the airbase for a few years as a kid. go back to Greece as often as i can afford, my testing field is on Rhodes... once i get it fully refurbished i'll remember to throw it over to you... :salute: just waiting for the dawn now so i can set off...

oh and while i remember Leif... going to go get some photos of that darned Jackaroo today, get the ball in motion if possible there....
 
will do my best to unless i get sidetracked...

Basically for those that don't know... THIS is a Jackaroo....

Hi there Smoothie, you've certainly been around. Talking of Larisa, my place (I have a small farm at the top of Mt Athos penninsular overlooking the tiny island Amouliani) is buzzed two or three times a day by F-4's and F-16's from Larisa AB. It seems my little valley is their favourite playground - the Phantoms usually the "aggressors", F-16's the new kids - the fun only interrupted when the Canadair cl415's get jealous and want the same airspace for touch'n goes down at the beach!
Anyway, always good to hear from other 'Hellenic simmers'.
Ah! Smoothie almost forgot, I'm trying to 'press gang' that talented modeller Jens B Kristensen into giving us all a Martin Mars; be a good sport and say you want one! It would make a rather spectacular tourist attraction at Rhodos too.
Best regards, Nigel:salute:

yeah thats one of the main 'play-areas' of the Ellhnikh Polemikh Aeroporia... and that mars would be perfect for a seaplane service between say... Rodos and Crete, or Rodos and Athens, put her down and taxi into Piraeus or some such... and call me 'press-ganged' on that one...

Amouliani... nice little island ... so you're overlooking both the island and Agion Oros bay (Used to have a nice farm strip/float port for my personal FS there), thats a nice area!
