Amazing pictures. Is this FSX? Water is nice, and I still couldn't find a good-looking water addon for FS9.

Remarkable screenshot series Ian, how did you manage all those formations- recorder module in FSX?

Back in the UK, we never learnt about the ANZAC's growing up, all the emphasis in the school classrooms were about our own troops victories and defaults, which we remember on 11th November, (aka ‘Remembrance Day’ or ‘Poppy Day’) for WW1, then VE day on May 8th for WW2. However, without the support of the Yanks, Canadians, Aussies, Kiwis and all the other all allied forces, there would have been no Victory in Europe. It’s a real shame that so little emphasis is put on the ANZAC’s in the UK, because all the commonwealth soldiers who battled alongside the British were equal history makers back in their day.

While I was in Rarotonga, we accidentally stumbled upon the ANZAC parade in the centre of town, with the New Zealand Navy there, placing reefs onto the RSA memorial- quite a moving ceremony:


Least we forget…
