A squadron that could possibly look after a total new guy to the game, UK timezone.
At the moment havent had time to do anything much as real life has had to take up all my time.
Hoping to get a start very, very soon.
Any takers out there.

P.S : I have TeamSpeak, Ventrilo and working headset/mic
Over 40 and a very proud grandad

Thank you one and all.

The Time zones could be an issue, but we do have a weekend flight in the afternoon to help out our Scottish pilot. Stop by, and see what we can offer you.

Hey there, Keff!

Though we are mainly a North American based group of pilots, we do have a few in England, Europe and Australia. Currently, we have 1 pilot in England, and a few pilots in Europe. So usually there is always someone on to fly in your time zone.

We use xfire and ventrilo exclusively. If you would like, I can PM you our contact information. =) If you would like, we can give you a taste of how we fly by you actually participating in a practice. We'd love you to take us up on that.

We have diverse age ranges also, with pilots ranging some teens, guys in their 20s, 40s, 50's, and even 60's. A very diverse grouping of pilots indeed!
We fly DOGFIGHT style exclusively, and are experienced in both OPEN and CLOSED pit flying, and are currently a ranking squad in the United Squadrons League (a squad competition league). Its a load of fun, and great dogfighting action! We all know that Real Life can get in the way sometimes and hey, its only normal. But, We do, of course, expect some level of dedication.

If you want some Virtual dogfighting action, some based on actual WW2 battles, come join us. TTU, as I have mentioned, is in The United Squadrons League - it is a competition where many squadrons on IL2 come together and fly against each other in good, hearty competition. Team work is our utmost goal, both in formal matches and in every game we play.

We fly most planes, usually 109s, 190s, Tempests, Spits, Ki-84s, etc, and bombers.

We'd love to see you stop in if your interested. Visit us at http://tempestunion.ipbfree.com/

Try the Dogz...we've 10 to 15 (if not more) in the UK - so we work to their time zone/schedule a fair bit.

Always happy to add to the number of those from the old country.

Hello Keff

JV44, The Redwulf Squadron might fit. While we are an international squad including the US, Denmark and Germany, we have a number of UK members, including myself. Our flying schedule is based on GMT which suits everybody. Check our website Oh, and in case you're wondering, all speak English

Most of the time we fly full real settings. Some are put off by this, but we have a full training programme to teach you all the skills you need, including wingman tactics and navigation etc. And I have to say that not only is it a far more satisfying way to fly, and if you want some serious fun it's really the only way. Once mastered, you won't go back.

If you're not sure we run a Redwulf for a Day scheme for interested pilots. Come along and us give us a test fly on a couple of missions or on a fighter sweep and see what we're like. You can meet the squad members and check us out. You’re more than welcome to give this a go.

Pryvet Keff,

Join the =69.GIAP= and rest assured that your manly virility will never flag.

Hi,
We are II./JG53 and are a CO-OP group with a worldwide membership split into three sections based upon geographical location. Our largest section by far is our UK / EU section with around 30+ members but our US/CAN section is growing and becomming quite active.
As an established CO-OP group with over 80 members with around 40-50 active, we are looking for BF109 pilots from all over the world to fly Co-op missions with us. We have three sections, one absed in the UK/EU, one in the USA/CAN and another based in AUS/NZ, all are operational and have plenty of active and dedicated pilots all waiting to welcome you into the group!

We have no age limits however all we ask is that you are a mature person who will fit in with a group that is made up of people of many different ages ranging at present from 14 - 60+

We fly using 1946 patched to the latest full version and have recently started to use our own JG53 mod pack that was compiled to ensure enhanced realism and additional maps/flyables whilst remainging balanced and fair for all members. We are currently operating over Sicily in Mid 1943, we are currently flying the BF109G2. We allow our pilots to fly in other IL2 squadrons providing mission times don't clash - we do this as we know some people like to have a co-op squad and an online "wars" squad as well as those who enjoy being in an "axis" squad and a different "allies" squad. So if you're looking for a CO-OP squad to fly with, id ask you to consider joining us here at II./JG53.

You've probably seen a fair few of us messing about on Hyperlobbby the past few days, if you've enjoyed flying with us, or just watching to random banter then feel free to drop by our forums and say hi, no obligation to join!

You can find our website here; http://www.IIJG53.com
With a link to the forums and "sign up" in the navigation bar as well as our Roster, Awards and News pages!

Hope to see you in the air with us soon!
