I got a major website update up.
So:

http://www.warbird.org.uk

Tell me what U think (without using foul language if U possibly can).

If 4 some reasons it goes wrong, go to http://rekka.bored.org

There are Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow piccies.
Lots.
And more to come!
No piccies of the peeps I met there tho. :( But some1 did take a picture, do U want to scan it and send it me?

I put all the names I remmeber meeting there on the Duxford part of the site, but if u're not on there, mail me ( ian.parr@totalise.co.uk )

Anyway, it was nice day, and I hope U like my site.

Also, there are some (rubbish) tips and some real life fact about the AA planes all in the 'air museum' section.

Some old AA pics of me getting batered with a [jedi] tag.
Some news on the 4-nations (late!).

ta all.

I like it.

That set of Shuttleworth piccies looks like it came from the same event I was at. The Harrier, Hurricane and Spitfire in formation was awesome.

Bats likes it.
JJ likes it.
That'll do :)
I need to fix a link on the title page (durrr).
The left link works but if U click on the right one (the plane anim., it don't).
Have to fix that tonite.

I'm trying to get more shuttleworth piccies of my m8, next year, I may see U at that event (if your unlucky), as I'm trying to get down maybe.

Very nice looking site m8. Well done!!!

JJ was right about the B17 bombload since a Mossie could do the same almost twice as fast.

Some more info for you on 303 (Polish) Squadron. These guys weren't only fighting the Germans, they had a gun battle with the Coldstream Guards at Northolt, injuries and hushed up possible fatalities. "War in the Air" Edward Smithies ISBN 0-14-013045-4.

Piccies of TSQN?
AGHHHHH! Don't wanna make me visitor throw up :P

Nah, just kiddin', if U could send me piccies, I could have it so when U click on there name, a pic pops up.
To be honest, I missed out loads of peeps who went.
Could U send me list of all the TSQN peeps who where there plz ?
Can't wait till next year :)

Any suggestion 4 site (I don't think I've achieved perfection just yet)

And thanks for that PaulFitz, I did origionally put loads of info on the Duxford page, but I though, 'who the hell is gonna read this!' and trimmed it down.
I'm thinking of putting a section about me fav warbird, the FW190 D/Ta152 series.

Tharts alright M'lado we cant all be perfect :E

Hey BTW, you gonna stay squadless now, or are you looking for another squad, Great pity about DOH, but dont let yer talent go wasted. Would'nt do any harm asking Smudger. You could help out with the bbq at next years duxy then :laugh:

Thanks Redkite, but I'm not actually squadless.
I left [DOH] a week before it disbanded (and yes, I am upset and feel guilty).
I'm in the [4th], some idiot said I could join without a trial :P

I've been asked into a few squads now, which I'm very flattered about, but peeps think I'm good, which I'm not, I just have lots of crap to say about 'planes in the N/B- hardly a measure of skill.

BUT, I'd still be happy to help out at the Duxford Barbie, Hmmmmmmm Burgers! :E

Sorry to hear our old adversaries have disbanded...

We've been to the brink more times than i remember but always held it together. We accept anyone regardless of skill as long as there are places available, therefore if anyone wants to join AA's "Crazy Gang" you know the mail addy (below)

Nice Site Rekka m8, i think black would set the jaguar? off well rather than white, but that's just me :E nice site m8, alot of hard work gone into it, well done.

Regards,

Neway, I know what U mean about that GR1, and TBH, it was done in a hurry whilst I was screaming at freenetname FTP to work properlly!
