    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

Newchurch ALG under construction

Its not often i actually get to visit the airfields im working on but im developing an interest in the Advanced Landing Grounds in Kent, and the first under construction is Newchurch near Romney Marsh which is a 40 min drive from where i live. Home to RAF Spitfire's and Typhoons supporting the D-day landings and hunting for V1 bombs. There is nothing physical left of the airfield, runways were made of PSP metal planking and tented accommodation for pilots and groundcrew, lucky officers were billeted in local farmhouse's, with the local church doubling as the MT section. The locals have organised a very fine memorial thats being dedicated this weekend and the village sign is very interesting also.
Ive just had a very nice afternoon visiting Newchurch and the fields where the ALG once stood, walking the footpaths through farmers fields trying to imagine what things would be like 70 years ago,
