Merry Christmas
Posted by Vosene on 23 Dec 2011 : 12:14:54

A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone in the 185th and our friends in other Sqns.

Have a great festive period.

There should be an online 185th campaign available very soon for you all to get your BMS fix and keep an eye on the ATO for other flying.

Sunday night flying starts again on 08 January in what I predict will be an excellent year for the 185th.

185th VFS Moves to BMS 4.32 as Offical Standard
Posted by Vosene on 09 Dec 2011 : 00:19:57

At a Senior Officer meeting on Thursday 8 December it was unanimously agreed that the Sqn would change the official install standard from Allied Force to BMS 4.32.

I know that this decision may mean a few of our members request a transfer to the reserves on either a temporary or permanent basis but the move was necessary to secure the long term future of the Sqn.

Allied Force development has stagnated leading to many of our members becoming disillusioned and Sqn numbers have been declining for some time.

The vast majority of our members have expressed their preference to switch to BMS and grasp the opportunity that it presents in re-invigorating interest in Falcon, flying with other Sqns and the chance to increase Sqn membership.

For those of you who are considering leaving as a result of this change then be assured that the leap to BMS is not as great as you may think and members with BMS experience stand ready and willing to make your transfer as painless as possible, including offering technical advice and any training that may be required.

We'll be producing a small training package, available for both online and offline training for anyone making the move from AF to BMS. I really do hope you choose to remain with the Sqn as we enter a new chapter in our long and illustrious history.

TIMETABLE

The final Allied Force mission will be flown this Sunday, 11 December from 1930UK. This will be an opportunity to say goodbye to both Allied Force and to any members who decide not to move to BMS.

After Sunday 11 December the Sqn will no longer fly Allied Force.

The first official 185th BMS mission will be a large scale co-op on Sunday 18 December and we will be inviting a number of other Sqns to join us, both to celebrate the change and advertise that we have switched to BMS.

We will then take a two week break for Christmas and the New year...
