Thanks Paul , Very Appropriate, course the first flight to the front in 1914 was from Dover to Amiens in their BE-2a's , No.2,3,4 and 5 Sqn on the 13th August , took then just under two hour to get there making it the beginning of the RFC in WWI.

It would have to be something to suit the occasion and period.

Hey lads, ANZAC day has pretty much come and gone, I didn't personally get in on any multiplay action today but I did suck down a bunch of awesome scenery for FSX for Turkey. There are some incredible freeware airports for most of the major commercial centers, downloadable via: http://www.freewarescenery.com/fsx/turkey.html

The stuff from the sanalpilot.com guys in particular is excellent, as good as a lot of payware IMHO, great detail in the buildings and surrounds, and photoreal etc.

There's also an FS9 freebie mesh in a 5-part download for Turkey by Abdulkadir Ozturk, available at avsim.com, works well in FSX for me.

Oh, if anyone's keen to do a circuit round the Gallipoli peninsula there's a nice download available for Canakkale Airfield which is close by over on the mainland opposite the peninsula, see ...
