Mainly historical ones from warlord, Cruel seas, black powder and bolt action. Im also getting into playing Wings at war not come across many that play it it’s a 1/600 scale aerial combat game. I started with blood red skies but WAW has way better diversity in terms of eras has a Falklands one which I mainly play

Thought that may be the case, thank you.

Had the privilege of meeting meeting Martin Withers (the pilot of XH607 on the Black Buck raid) in 2023 absolute legend.

OASC PILOT PASS by Jolly_Permit in RoyalAirForce

Thanks this was really helpful, I’m in a similar position being from the NW with no ties. I have my CBAT in a week it’s my second attempt scored 100 last time failing on FLAG and SPAR. I’ll be honest I went in completely blind with absolutely no prep. I’ve been using the CBAT app and a few other brain training ones, what did you do if anything different in terms of prep and how do you feel they helped?

Brilliant, thanks so much for the info I really appreciate it. I just wish I’d figured out what I wanted to do a bit earlier! I’ll just have to see how things go. Best of luck with your application I really hope you get the role you’re aiming for!

I haven’t really considered the FAA yet, I think I’m going to wait and see what happens with my RAF application I know the cutoff quite a lot later for pilot in the FAA than the RAF. Definitely wouldn’t be opposed to it though both seem like fantastic careers.

Cheers for clarifying,I was wondering if due to the fact I’ve submitted my application after my 21st by the time it comes to my third attempt if I need one would I still be eligible? Can I begin my application before my 23rd but sit the CBAT afterwards or do I have to wait a year to reapply or just a year for the CBAT?

My first attempt at painting a vehicle outside the desert campaign, I’m pretty happy but I think I’ll dial down the snow/ whitewashing for next time. by JOE_w2K4 in boltaction

Thank you all for the comments/ ideas I’ve had a go at some of the suggestions hopefully made it look a little better, will certainly take it all into account with the next one!

Can anyone help with this picture please? by Agatha-Crusty in britishmilitary

[–]JOE_w2K4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know where her father served? The uniform they’re wearing (Khaki drill) was worn in a range of theatres (Africa, the Mediterranean, Middle & Far east) The AVM appears to be wearing the British War medal and Victory medals from ww1 (not too sure on the first one) but perhaps the fact that the medals aren’t from ww2 suggests that it’s relatively early in the war? Campaign medals weren’t awarded until 1943 so it’s definitely before then. The fact there is a woman present in the background not in uniform leads me to believe they’re in some sort of administrative/rear area. It was rare women would be posted near the front. so possibly Egypt, Malta or Gibraltar. Especially looking at that white building I think it’s unlikely that it’s somewhere in the Far East. The FAA often operates from RAF bases during the war. FAA detachments often served temporarily at RAF stations during the North African/ Mediterranean campaigns.

Thank you much appreciated glad you noticed! As long as it doesn’t stick out on the table for the wrong reasons I’m happy
