We had a couple of good races last night. We had a 5 man race on the Dover course. Me, gilly, winny, mckinney and fight test. We all used the same plane, spit 2, which really made things better as we were grouped together. The outbound leg hawkinge to manston went through with no gunfire but on the return leg we opened up. Some lovely kills down the White cliffs and we were still quite close on the final straight. I rembered from last time to slow and get gear down in plenty of time to land. The guys in front of me overshot landing and I thought I had it in the bag but I was shit down by mckinney just as I was about to land. Mckinney then landed and won race.
Second race was 6 man run around Stalingrad river. That was all done in 109 g6s. Some nice photos taken of the planes on start line. This race got strung out a bit but and fight test, who was in the lead, went down wrong river near the end. Turns out that some of our crash marks had disappeared. Looks like the game can only handle so many smoke stacks. The finish line turned into a scramble but scotty won comfortably in the end.

Good fun guys, thanks for playing
