You're Top Poster: #10  | Only just noticed this thread... Yes, I am a member of C&C; I've only joined fairly recently but WW1 aviation has been a lifelong interest. They do an excellent quarterly magazine, and have regional get-togethers including one in London which I try to get to. But its acknowledged that our website Cross & Cockade International is hardly state of the art and needs some serious revamping. However I don't have the time or expertise to offer myself - I spend a lot of time on forums but I've no idea about how create and modify the actual websites. Most C&C forum addicts (especially the UK and Australian ones) hang out on the "War in the Air" section of the forum at The Long, Long Trail: the story of the British Army in the Great War of 1914-1918 (you have to look hard for the "forum" link). The other WW1 site is Welcome to The Aerodrome - Aces and Aircraft of World War I - an American site, very good as far as it goes, but the forum tends to specialise in German and US units, and in fighter units almost to the exclusion of the other aspects.
