    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.

You are cordially invited to participate in the "Spitfire K5054 90th Anniversary Circumnavigation of the UK: May 2026", a nine flight circumnavigation of the UK in a two seat Spitfire (BS410) that has been repainted to match the prototype Spitfire K5054. The nine real world flights were completed in just under 10 hours of flying time earlier this month.

Spitfire K5054 90th Anniversary Circumnavigation of the UK: May 2026

Spitfire K5054 90th Anniversary Circumnavigation of the UK: May 2026 Everyone is WELCOME to join in, regardless of what Simulator you use, or what Aircraft you choose to fly! I am suggesting that we commemorate the 90th Anniversary of the Spitfire with 9 flights around the UK in the month of...
sim-outhouse.org

"All Sims Adventures" is a subforum of the "Around The World Race/Multiplayer Events" forum.

The General Route:

You get extra credit for flying a Spitfire, or even a TR9 two-seat Spitfire, but any aircraft you choose to fly is welcome.
Or you could choose to fly one of the escorting aircraft as well.

Here are the escorts for the nine flights:

Flight 1: F-35B Lightning, then BBMF Dakota & Spitfire Mk.Vb.
Flight 2: 2x Red Arrows Hawk T1s & Phenom T1.
Flight 3: P-8 Poseidon.
Flight 4: 2x Typhoons.
Flight 5: 2x Hawk T2s.
Flight 6: RAF Texan T1, then Jupiter HT1 helicopter.
Flight 7: 2x QinetiQ Pilatus PC21s.
Flight 8: A400M Atlas.
Flight 9: BBMF Dakota.

The UK Tour is structured around two important factors; Having Fun, and Having Fun. Not a Race, no Time Constraints, no complicated Rules other than the Route itself. However, it is highly encouraged that Participants post a Travelogue of your Flights along with some Screenshots, describing your journey in whatever manner tickles your fancy; a Story, simple Description, etc.

There is a Thread in the All Sims Adventures Forum dedicated to this Event.
If you desire, you may start your own Thread in All Sims Adventures documenting your Flights as well.

So, if you're up to the challenge, and want to join in with a fun group of Flight Simmers in May, come along for the Ride!

Such a shame the 1st leg was cut short.
I was standing on our Seafront, camera ready, waiting and waiting, only to find out that the strech from Beachy Head to Cape 'le Ferne was cancelled due to strong headwinds.
 
That is unfortunate. The flight track was well north of your location. There were a number of delays or route changes on the nine flights based on weather conditions.
 
There is a prototype model in the FSX Battle of Britain 70th anniversary package. The model is done by Aeroplane heaven, unfortunately it is payware. But still available at JustFlight.com.
