Rescue Biccles!
« on: January 04, 2014, 01:18:42 AM »
Allied flying ace Cpt. Biccles crate has come down in no mans land, dazed by the bumpy landing and failing light he has headed for the wrong trench lines and has been captured



More pics and a brief over view of his daring rescue can be found on my blog

It was great fun, Phil, and your Blog account really captures the essence of the game too! The photos are very evocative of the era I feel.
