Nice on topic for the thread!!! Stir the pot...

For any of you in the UK and fancy a trip to Doncaster to hear the engines... https://mailchi.mp/vulcantothesky/first-xh558-engine-ground-runs-of-the-season-announced?e=7a0e93146c

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-cornwall-47525635/footage-emerges-of-soldiers-leaving-for-d-day-from-cornwall Some new footage of Americans loading ready for D Day. (Re-discovered) Might be of interest..

BTW who knows what the crew were trying to do, but for the kid he saw men trying to avoid him, so in his mind hero's. Either way war is about people dying and good to remember them, half term up in Sheffield so hopefully plenty of kids saw the planes and hopefully we're explained why they were there...

No problems, always the media over plays things so can be a bit much. I guess BBC keen to have something other than Brexit to focus on.

If you have been watching the news coverage then you should know why the fly by happened. For those who don't... A school kid in Sheffield saw the plane crash. He was in a public park where the plane might have been able to land, but they saw him so avoided it to try and find somewhere else. The kid saw the faces of the men and has blamed himself ever since for the deaths. That kid stayed in Sheffield and is now an old man and visits the memorial at the crash site everyday talks to the crew and tends the memorial. A BBC sports presenter lives in Sheffield and walks in the park saw the man doing this and eventually got chatting to him and found out the story. He mentioned it on BBC news one morning and a social media campaign kicked off to get a fly by on the anniversary. Not just for those men but for all the aircrews that died. The US aircrew stated as much on TV. A good news story showing how people care about those who died during the war. This to me was clear from the coverage I watched...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhTbU3lO4hE Just seen this as I support the last Flying Vulcan in UK and not sure if it has been posted before. Really nice footage of the Vulcan flying.

Thanks for sharing that, interesting analysis and really helps my understanding of the fight.

Thanks for the update, I saw the video at game release and it was on my radar to check more closely when I had time. I guess maybe one to miss, the promo video looked good but I think it was more smoke and mirrors than reality..

Obviously not for some folks https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recycling_rates_by_country We are in effect sh*tting on our own doorstep and the amount of plastic waste polluting our water is staggering. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/sep/06/plastic-fibres-found-tap-water-around-world-study-reveals But hey ho it is all down to a liberal conspiracy to stop big business making profits and declining living standards, the recent change in leadership in America has not helped... As for less collections that is down to reduced tax return due to the world economic crisis that is still hitting the UK public spending purse as tax has not increased and so councils under pressure to make savings while still trying to keep recycling rates up. Target is to hit 50% by 2020 at 43% we are close but still put a third of our waste in the ground, compared to America 54%... Back on topic I checked my credit cards, not been compromised, but then I did not buy anything off Battlefront recently... (Not that it is relevant...)

It's called recycling and saving the planet, something that America (and other countries) might want to adopt... Nothing to do with declining living standards!!!

Ha you assume there are test plans... It is what it is and I am looking forward to the major patch and then I might find my mojo to play some more, but like others I have had quite some time not playing, waiting for the patch... I hope SF2 keeps them afloat to do some more in 2019... Now to get dressed and see if Santa has been here... Happy Christmas

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism Let's see what we were discussing? Ukrainian ships attacked by Russian forces... Pathetic.....

Haiduk thanks for the continued updates it is very clear what happened and as usual the story of liesis just a media misinformation attempt to put a fig leaf over it. A pity that Europe is not closer to be able to help stop bullies grabbing terrority. Hobo I agree it is very clear what Russia is doing and at some point they will go too far. The small people will suffer for the choices made by dictators.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-46345853 Yet another terrority grab by Russia... Keep up that belief that Russia is in the right and a mere victim of Ukrainian elections.. Certain people in past history did the same *ull*hit and it did not end well for that nation and leader let's hope everyone else don't have to suffer for this land and sea grab.... (Too many have already, be they innocents in planes or people picking up perfume bottles left by tourists)

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-46340283 "Under a 2003 treaty between the governments in Moscow and Kiev, the Kerch Strait and the Sea of Azov are shared territorial waters." Obviously the Russians are not honouring this, and for the apologists who think Russia has done no wrong ROFL at your excuses!!! Pathetic.

This has now been reported on BBC. Of course Russia can do no wrong... *ossers

John you are spamming this forum a tad, any chance of a bit of self control? Please....

What people should realise is that it is a two man team who are not getting any younger.... Unless there is a succession plan there might be no new engine? I will just be happy to get the update to fix the issues noted....

Have you ever tried to manage that many people generating noise? The problem is bandwidth as (I guess) there is only two people (paid, and I am not sure they are getting paid that much for what they do!!!) working for the company at the moment... This is the root cause of lack of communication and having a mass of people on a closed beta will not help. This is a niche company and while I too would like more updates it is what it is and I keep hoping we get the patch... At some point this journey will end, I just hope they can keep going for a while yet.....

"When in doubt dismount" nice video but has not changed my view of the use of Bren Carrier or Half Tracks.

I took a small party of Americans to your museum a few years ago, great memories and a place well worth visiting. I hope this new video is being played for your visitors? Thanks for sharing the video. I will come back some day to do a more detailed walk of the battlefield, we just did a long day and ended up at the Tiger.

Hi Erwin would be good to hear how it went and how easy to get into a game.

Was not aware of it so now looking at going in 2019 as I have never played fully my original copy of Atlantic Wall. Will be at WBC for first time this year to see what that is like. Ties nicely with my yearly Historicon fix. So thanks for this I might get to finally get to play Atlantic Wall
