Special Server Maintenance
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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.
Thank you for your support.

Wow, nice surprise Ian. Fits great with our other projects. So downloaded this day before yesterday, installed it yesterday morning and thought wow, this looks great, but it is pretty lonely around here, so spent the entire day researching and building traffic and modifying the ADE for my environment and now, great scenery and traffic though more to do.
1955-57 Traffic,
By 1955, Tangmere was a key fighter station for the air defense of Southern England, having just transitioned from the Gloster Meteor.
No. 1 Squadron: Re-equipped with the Hawker Hunter F.5 (arrived August 1955).
No. 34 Squadron: Operating the Hawker Hunter F.2 and later the F.5.
No. 22 Squadron: A detachment of Westland Whirlwind HAR.2/HAR.10 helicopters began search-and-rescue duties. (They do fly in this traffic)
1959-62 Traffic - Fighters gone and Transition to Signals Command.
Following the departure of the fighter squadrons in June 1958, Tangmere's role shifted toward electronics and calibration. No. 245 Squadron: Having moved from RAF Watton in August 1958, they operated the English Electric Canberra B.2 for radar calibration duties.
No. 115 Squadron: Operating Vickers Varsity T.1 aircraft for calibration of TACAN and GCA (Ground Controlled Approach) systems and
No. 22 Squadron: Steady SAR presence with Westland Whirlwind helicopters.
This was just too good to let sit there with no traffic.
