    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.

    Thank you for your support.

B-29 Raid

Bomb doors open.


Flak and searchlights a bit too close for comfort!


Bombs away . . .


Leaving fire in their wake.
 
QC but using my TOW Searchlights tweak. I haven't released it as no one has been able to test it and as I really had little idea of what I was doing, I didn't want to loose it upon the CFS3 world! Skins are one thing, but modifying facilities is another.
 
Interesting. I have ETO or rather TOW eras with whole areas of searchlights plugged into the gsls. Hopefully they will be releases as NachtPiloten and I work through different eras for release; and hopefully TOW Era 1 this Autumn covering the Blitz to the 1000 bomber raids.
 
Coming in high...

There's a nice pic of R5833 and its crew at Scampton on 8 April '42, in 'Manchester Moments' by JR Bushby who is in the picture (extreme left, below) and was an air gunner with 83 Squadron. Far from Manchesters being eventually made reliable, he says that it was 'with a feeling of heartfelt relief' that he found them gone on returning from a gunnery leader's course at the end of May 1942.
