[Osprey]

Just for the record, I wasn't requesting to refly that mission, but rather a 'refly' which allows one to exit and re-enter the server. When the server was re-started I had the chaps restart IL2 to minimise such an event occurring and normally I will not get these freezes at all. Last night, for some reason, I did.

Something else for red only. I think in future we need to avoid airgroups consisting of lonewolves or at least assign a leader with them who is used to some squadron protocols. At Hawkinge everything was fine until the Spitfires spawned in. Quite a few of them ignored the fact that it was an EXTREMELY busy airfield and that all of the Hurricanes were on the taxiways trying to get to a known take off direction. Guess what happened? Spitfires taking off in all directions, towards each other, crashing and even worse slamming into Hurricanes trying to do the right thing. Over the airwaves I had to hear shouts like "He's coming towards us" followed by "he just took me out". Now I hear that SYN were at Hawkinge with Spitfires too I have to question if your chaps were involved in that Jed? I don't know how many you had there but before we set off I was clear that Hawkinge takeoff heading would be east to west on approx 250 from the eastern end (the T marker). Is that how your take off was organised? Perhaps next week one of you chaps can come into the common comms on ATAG and take on board the whole game plan. That would help a great deal. Thanks.
