You could always pull up a chair and drop us a line in the Guest Lounge at The Unicorn Osprey.

Will do, thanks

S` boys a bump from hornchurch


S`

Thanks for the bump 74!

Tangmere is now officially participating in the IL2 League.

~S~ and *bump* to you chaps.

Tangmere and RAF74 are in, I look forward to meeting you, and then the banter can begin about who is going to blow who out of the sky

It rather looks as if my friendly Brighton banter towards the evil palarse has received the nix. So, I shall say it was a pleasure to meet you Osprey - a true Gent.

Oh, we hate Palarse, and we hate Palarse...

It's a sad day for democracy when you can't have a pop at the Palace.

Guess?
Actually Osprey has witnessed my 'skills' so I doubt you have much to worry about

The Tangmere Pilots are currently up to our necks in Spaghetti and Chianti as we take on the Italians and the Luftwaffe in Sicily.

Come and have a look at our website and see if you measure up to becoming a Tangmere Pilot!

Bump-tastic!

LOL! Having a pop at the mighty Eagles are we?

There's only one answer to that

"5-0, and you can't go home!"
"5-0, and you can't go home!"
"5-0, and you can't go home!"

Being a season ticket holder at the time I was there for that one, you brought about 7000 which made for a tremendous atmosphere - loved every minute!

~S~ and Bump!

I was there too I'm afraid. Kerry Mayo was beaten every time down the left side...he's so slow. The only highlight of that game was when the announcer thought Andy (you must call me Andrew) Johnson had scored, announced Andrew and was left hanging by the crowd...except for us.
Oh by the way, do you want to borrow my dvd "1 night at Palace", it's the heroic story of Paul McShane's exploits of the 18th October 2005.
I just loved this quote from the Evening Standard...
"For Palace fans, being beaten by Brighton at home is as bad as it gets. For reasons totally unfathomable to the rest of the football nation, the two sets of supporters detest each other with a passion rarely seen outside the Balkans. No wonder Iain Dowie was "angry and disappointed" after the feeble midweek display"

Congratulations to S/Ldr. Malc of No145 who is the first "ace" of Tangmere's new Italy campaign!

To give you an idea of what our campaign missions are like, here is a link to a Video made by Sgt. Archie of No43 Squadron of the mission he flew in our Italy campaign last Sunday (22 June 2008).

* * * ALL PILOTS WILL FAMILIARIZE THEMSELVES WITH THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONAL INFORMATION

OPERATIONAL BRIEFING D.A.F.

DATE:- 7th September 1943 ZERO:- 05:00 hours

STARTING FROM:TRAPANI AIRBASE

OPERATIONAL INFORMATION:- We have become aware of a surface RDF facility on the island of Pescatori, this unit is providing low level cover and pinpointing our ships at great distance, We estimate it must be at a high point on the island to be able to give it the range to detect our fleet. We bombed the facility last night from height but only caused minor damage although a fuel dump was seen to be ablaze and visible from miles around, If this is still alight use it as an aid to guide you in. The level bombers encounterd very little flak at Angels 20 but dont take that as any guide as you will be going in low level, We have detailed maps of Pescatori so use them to plan your route in and out,The Site is on the South face of the island.A Catalina is already on the surface acting as a navigation aid and rescue vessel in G6

Unfortunately the current spell of bad weather continues. Expect low cloud & poor visibility throughout the mission.

HEIGHT:- SPITFIRES: ANGELS ZERO

INTELLIGENCE:- The Luftwaffe have been reluctant to engage of late, saving their aircraft in what they may view as a lost cause. However, there is always the possibility of encountering a standing patrol.

I like how you used the word 'announcer' in the loosest possible way.
The way he announces the goals is great if you're about 10 years old but I'm not and it'd get on my nerves if I had to hear that week in and week out.

Tangmere welcomes Sgt. Rhodite to No.43 Squadron.

In related news, S/Ldr. Reggie excuses Sgt. Archie from tea duties.

Come and join Sgts Badger, Griffin, and Runnels in No6 Operational Training Unit.

It's run by the third most famous Belgian - after Tintin and Poirot.

So, that'll be Belgian Bun then?


now, come on, you asked for that
