Hi all

I have drunk all the Scotch, beer - even the cooking Sherry and eaten all in site and we have just about worn out Scotts server - I am starting to think Key are having a pretty bad server melt down. It is most unusual to have an outage for this long - thank god it's not a comercial site (Ha) or they would go broke with lost sales and advertising revenue Ummmmm

Regards
John P

Do they do Spitfires here. HAH! There happens to be plenty of Spitfire nuts on this side of the pond too :)

A 91 Squadron Spit IX in late 44 from the files. Of course I'm more obsessed with Spit XIIs but that's OK too :)

Dan, you've provided an excellent answer, but to the wrong question! This is the Spitfire that we're referring to! :wink:

VP seems like he's been Anna'd. Go and have a lie down old chap, it'll pass, you'll be back to your old self again in no time.

Psst! Don't want to get your hopes up to soon, but it looks like FP's back up. Actually, maybe if Setter and the Scots get their hopes up too soon, and then it crashes again, would that be a case of premature Jock elation?

I'll get my coat...

The Flypast Forum might be back, but it's running like a dog with 3 legs.

I think I'll stick around here - No irritating Flood.

I wonder if it happened during "routine maintenance"? I wonder if EDS and Microsoft are involved??

Just in time for the FP-site to come back on! The "brew" and "emoticon"
stash were being severely taxed!

It has been a pleasurable infestation...please don't be strangers!
Gotta go...WW1-aero movie on..."The White Sister", Clark Gable..1933.

Make that no legs. Cannot be found...

So why don't I get the highlight when I quote? No obvious brain failure but I'm always prepared to be convinced.

You must be pressing the mouse button too hard.
