WINGS OF GLORY LEND LEASE 2024: RAFFLE #3

A very large thank you to everyone who has participated in the last two raffles.

In this raffle we have a very nice selection of WWI items.



The most wonderful piece in this raffle is the Fokker Dr.I custom painted by Flash. An extremely nicely done job.









The other pieces in the raffle are as follows:

An unopened WWI Rene Fonck SPAD XIII


A F-Toys Albatros D.III


A RFC Character Log Book


And finally, an Aerodrome wooden cockpit display.


Raffle tickes will be $1 each. $5 for 6 tickets, $10 for 15 ticket, and $20 for 40 tickets.

Please send ticket purchases by Paypal to danschul@yahoo.com

Please include your name and aerodrome handle.

Good luck to everyone.

Well heck, that's a few years ago now.
It's a WoG MvR Dr.1 model, as you can probably tell from the tail fin, done at the behest of Matt for just such an event. I'm glad to see it has made it to it's objective.

[CrashCraig]

I'm in Dan!

[tikkifriend]

It would be rude not to give it a run.
Money on its way

[Flying Helmut]

That's quite the haul!

Finances be damned - monies sent!

[Guntruck]

Oh, go on then Money sent.

[OldGuy59]

If I'm not in error, the F-Toys Albatros represents one of MvR's planes?

Hmmm...

PS: MvR flew the D.III for 37-53 victories. Lots of spread for Ace Skills...

PPS: D.III (2253/17) is the predecessor to the Ares all red Albatros D.III, so perhaps a "Level 03" Ace card with Acrobatic Pilot, Itchy Trigger Finger and Sniper?

OK. This isn't adding up. The Ace Card in the Ares box lists dates from 14 Feb 1917 to 9 March 1917. Those dates are his 20th to 25th victories? And he supposedly didn't paint his Albatros D.III all red until May?

"The model (789/17) featured in Wings of Glory was delivered to Jagdstaffel 11 on May 2nd..."

Source: WW1 Wings of Glory Airplane Packs Preview – Albatros D.III

So the Ace Card in the Ares plane pack is actually accurate for the F-Toys Albatros D.III, and there should have been a Level 09 or 10 card in the Ares pack.

It took a while to track everything down! We still have a plane Andy (Nightbomber) painted and one I did on the way to Dan. If they don't make it for this years LL raffles we'll see them next year.

What can I say, I'm in!

[Stumptonian]

In like Flynn

[RJG173]

Monies have been sent for some tickets.

[camel crew]

Oh very well then. Monies sent

[flash]

If I'm not in error, the F-Toys Albatros represents one of MvR's planes? ..

It appears that Albatros D.III(2253/17) is the machine he got most, if not all, of his Bloody April victories in, so that would be the one to have, I'd have thought. Not sure when he painted the wings but he had his plane he came with painted red when he took command of Jasta 11 and was referred to "le petit rouge" as early a January '17.

[OldGuy59]

Finally got my **** together and joined in supporting this effort with real money.

Good luck to all!

[OldGuy59]

So, based on the dates and victories, this is 'before' the F-Toys Albatros D.III pilot card:


The image is from a photo op when he was sitting in an Albatros D.III. At this time, he was awarded the Blue Max (12 January 1917), so that is on the card. [Correction: the image is not a D.III photo op, mis-identifed on a site. Confirmed elsewhere as a D.V. They are very similar in cockpit configuration.]

[camelbeagle]

That is pretty awesome!

[Teaticket]

Nice cards Mike!

[OldGuy59]

Had to redo this card, as the Ace Skill icon was not correct. Fixed:


[Grammar error fixed!]

And the Equipment card:


And, I found pretty much the exact D.III image that Ares used on their card?!

[flash]

Nice job, Mike; MvR got his Blue Max when he'd got 16 victories & took over at Jasta 11 on the 16th Jan; he got his 18th victory on 24th Jan, he was forced down himself in this fight with a cracked spar. This was an Albatros D.III, it may have been 789/17, and it resulted in the D.III's being grounded. He got his 19th victory on the 1st Feb in a D.II it seems.
The next bakers dozen came in other types, then about 20 throughout April in his Albatros D.III(2253/17)

[Flying Helmut]

Super cards, Mike!

Just one proof-reading quibble...

Super Ace card, skill description
"rather just one" should read "rather THAN just one"

[camelbeagle]

Pretty Awesome! I will print up a set and include them with the Raffle.

[OldGuy59]

Super cards, Mike!

Just one proof-reading quibble...

Super Ace card, skill description
"rather just one" should read "rather THAN just one"

Ooohh! I 'cut&paste'd the description from Dave's [Flash] Ace Skills post to get the most accurate version (Link: Ace Abilities and Optional Rules).

I then compared it to the card. I missed that both time, seeing what I expected to see, rather than what was actually there.

Thanks for proof-reading for me.

[flash]

Mea culpa ! Correction made

Great cards Mike

[tikkifriend]

Mike might be requesting this above my pay/ rank level but could you do some cards for our 10th Aniversary Doncaster meet.

I have a vague recollection of winning a raffle when I was in primary School (? 10 yrs old)

I, too, really like that triplane!

Hi Chris. Have been away so may be too late for this one as you have sent the funds already. However, I'm in, so if you cannot send the fund on then keep it for the next one

[Hedeby]

Not too late Mike, funds should’ve gone stateside but we can sort that

[camelbeagle]

Got you added Mikeemagnus!

A big thanks to everyone. I will be drawing this some time on Saturday. So if anybody wants in today is the final day.

That will be the envy of all the not-winners.

[Hedeby]

[camelbeagle]

Well, looks like this lot if swag is heading across the pond!

The winner is Flying Officer Kyte!

Congrats Rob! I hope you enjoy your raffle winnings!

[Teaticket]

Congratulations! Well done Rob. 2 out of 3! Whats your secret?

[zenlizard]

Excellent outcome!

[Guntruck]

'kin 'ell, these raffles are getting more bent than Vladimir Putin's election results

Well done Rob

[Flying Officer Kyte]

I am totally overwhelmed. I am not used to winning all these prizes.
I can possibly help out a bit more with the money raising for our guest. No money to pay if you do the following.
When the LL member comes to Doncaster he can bring me the Fokker repaint with him.
As for the rest, I already have each of the items, so you can save them for a future draw.
I have a spare cockpit, because Keith sent me one with FO Kyte on it, and I also won one that Matt had painted in an earlier raffle, so Chris can have his wish granted, as I will give him my spare one of the three I have.

Maybe as a special prize Old Guy would do me an Ace card with Lucky bastard ignore the next two ON Fire cards he draws.

Rob.

[CrashCraig]

Congratulations Rob. Well-played!

Okay! Sounds like a plan.

Mike, if you make cards up send me the file and I can print them up and send them to Flying Officer Kyte.

[Hedeby]

Rob... BUY A LOTTERY TICKET QUICK.... your luck is certainly in..
Couldn’t happen to a nicer bloke.

And thank you very much,
