I for one think you’ve done a fantastic job and cannot wait to see her in the flesh. Seeing those pictures remind of the first time I saw the film, an old VHS ‘taped off the telly’ job. Mother had carefully edited out most of the adverts apart from a random hamlet one! I remember gleefully telling dad, ‘they’re not messerschmitts dad, they’re ‘ispanos!’
I wonder now, without the wonderful webbington web how I discovered this those years ago! Surely not reading a book!

Good luck sourcing the parts for number two Roobarb, I’m sure she’ll be a sight to behold once complete, whatever the colour!!!

🙂 Very good!

Very powerful video watch for the audience reaction

Wow. Very powerful, and what amazing talent she has. The speed at which she works astounds me. It certainly hit a nerve with the audience.

To all of you IL enthusiasts the more I rad the more I like. So can anyone confirm whether or not it will run on windows 7 64bit? I have been unable to find a clear, definitive answer.

Yes indeed it does.
Running Windows 7 Ultimate here, installed fairly straightforwardly.
The main thing to do is not install from autorun, but explore the disc and run ‘a.exe’. You may or may not need to run it in XP compatibility mode.

If you run into any problems drop me a PM and i’ll try to help!

I’ve played all incarnations of IL-2 since the demo in 2000/1(?). Though more recently my passion has been re-ignighted with the fantasitc MODS that AA develop. I highly recommend U.I. 1.2, for more info visit here http://allaircraftarcade.com/forum/

Hmm, think I might jump in a Spitfire Mk.XIV… :D:D

Spitfire XVIII SM845/G-BUOS left Duxford today after being a growling resident since Summer 2000. It has gone to new owners in Sweden, who already operate Spitfire RW386. This leaves just the TFC MkXIV to fly the flag for Griffon power at Duxford.

I liked 845 a lot… something about that late bubble top, big rudder, huge engine ‘look’ that spoke to me. Hmmm, or was it her giving me a new parting every Legends on the tank bank! :eek::):):D

We do seem to be lacking in the griffon department now, shame.

RIP Sir and thank you.
Wish I had got to meet you.

Gone but never forgotten

I don’t post very often these days, but I thought it absolutely necessary in this instance. What a fantastic stepping stone this is for the team involved!
My hearty congratulations and thanks to those who spend countless hours working towards re-instating such an important flying memorial to where she belongs – in the skies above England.
