Well this is a bit different!
Ok, I'm old enough to have seen the film 'Battle of Britain' when it was released; my Dad took me to the pictures to see it.
He also took the whole family to Woodford Airshow every year (home of the Lancaster and Vulcan), and bought me one Airfix kit per week, plus big ones at Christmas.
I used to love reading Biggles and anything I could get my hands on connected with wartime aviation.
For a time, the aviation fixation took a back seat in favour of girls, motorbikes, girls, playing guitar in bands, girls, and forging some sort of career and home life.
Then I bought a Super Nintendo for a laugh, then a playstation and any flight related game, then was given the original CFS and IL2 by a friend at the start of the century. Played them on an ancient steam driven laptop.
Currently have all the IL2 series, FSX plus a few ridiculously expensive add-ons, DCS A-10, Rise of Flight ICE, but also enjoy beating my kid brother up online with Streetfighter IV, bit of Crysis and Theatre of War.
But once Cliffs is ironed out a bit, I have a feeling that all the above will get used less and less.
