Bank Holiday weekend….

Mix of good and bad….

Good:D went to a fantastic ‘boat party’ near Soham/Upware on Saturday night/Sunday morning, over-indulged with the ‘fire water’ and regretted it later.
Got woken at about 08-30 Sunday by various microlights, C5 Galaxy (very low!), Mustang, low-ish and heading north west (Janie?) then a mysterious Pa22 (a bit too high to make out the reg) flew over before heading east…Moggy C? (or was it too early!?). The ‘parting shot’ was the BBMF flying over as we headed back to the marina near Ely.

Bad: Loosing my mobile phone with all my numbers in…:mad::(

One possibility could be the ME108 which is at operated from White Waltham. It came down (safely) on a field last summer near Henley-on-Thames after engine failure, convieniently behind a pub.
TomW is, I believe the expert in that neck of the woods maybe he could add more.

(suspect MoggyC may have been involved with this, since its in close proximity to Brakspear’s brewery…..:D;) )

Interesting thread…
I have met some very interesting ‘famous’ folk, shared a cinema/television screen with some… Eddie Izzard, Ewan Macgregor, Emily Woof and Sarah Cawood were a good laugh on set.

Sir ****ie and Anthony Hopkins are absolute gents, having met and chatted to them on location for ‘Shadowlands’, most unassuming and friendly. ( for the ‘censor’ thats Sir Richard Attenborough!)

Richard Gere (least said the better!), Sean Connery (another gent), Julia Ormonde (….oooooh!:D), Martin Shaw, David Putnam, Alan Parker, Felicity Kendal, Babara Windsor (total scream…), Jeremy Irons.

Most of the cast of Eastenders, the Bill, Casualty, Londons Burning, Emmerdale and a few from Hollyoaks(!) at various points.

Went to school with Jay Kay, Jamiroquai (year above, some of his early gigs were great), and Dave Mcfadyen who plays Tom in BBC ‘Spooks’…. Oh, and the Prince of Malaysia (Fiaz)

Prince Charles and Prince Andrew (thats a story in itself!)

There are others but they don’t immediately spring to mind.

Mr B has already been approached…. amongst others.

Mixtec, CFS3 is a great deal heavier on the graphics (and CPU) than CFS2, lots more detail, trees, effects, moving vehicles, excellent terrain mesh, sound effects and it will give most processors a good workout… (looks REALLY good on a cinema screen :D;)…and even better with a few beers aswell!) wouldn’t recommend that anyone try on much less than a 1ghz CPU, 64mb graphics card, 256mb RAM with a single monitor.

Online a great deal of difference is made by the number of players in the room/game, and especially your connection speed/reliability…. cable or broadband is ideal.

The patch that has been released for CFS3 is really a must have, especially if you have a force feedback ‘stick… (pre-patched the forces work in the opposing sense!)

Personal experience of the CFS3 rooms, very mixed, be prepared to get shot down loads if you’re a ‘newbie’ but there are some great games going on…. the ‘missions’ and ‘team dogfights’ tend to have the more serious/friendly gamers (less kids n hot rods).

Have fun, and remember,….. ‘It’s only a game’!…..

errr, sorry, I don’t see a TF51 there……:D :p 😉 !

If any of you really feel like getting your tempest shot-up then hop over to CFS 3. Online shooting-up the kids most eve’s at some point.

watch your ‘6’ guys:D!

A shade/cover for cockpit night lighting perhaps?
I think for a dye container it is perhaps a bit small…
