Hi everyone
How about this to keep everyone happy:-

" Don't interrupt "

By which I mean, any aircraft that did not use an interruptor gear.
If you want to do a Fokker D.VII or Albatros, do a trainer with no guns.
A pusher has no interrupter gear.
A civilian aircraft has no interrupter gear.
A pre-war classic has no interrupter gear.
A built-for-the-job trainer has no ......

Is there any preference stated in this thread that could not be accommodated?

I like the idea revolving around a particular year and the I appreciated the austro-hungarian idea, since they and several other nations dont get much action. How about either picking a different front (eastern, italian, palestine) or maybe even an "anywhere but the western front" campaign? This would put focus on some different nationalities and aircraft, but there is still opportunities for some german and english flown aircraft.

I like the sound of this idea – the eastern/italian front would give us a few very colourful and unusual options...

I would be quite happy to see a Round Three version of KotS; that would leave maximum opportunity for all rather then exclude some who may find the more specific subjects not to their tastes. The narrower fields proposed by all those submitting suggestions would be included and provide for, IMHO, maximum participation.
KotS II included between the Wars subjects; anything that qualified for the Early Aviation period of flight was welcome and, I'll add, enjoyed by me for certain.
That's the vote from this hobbyist in the Great White North; I'm looking forward to another opportunity to support the next Campaign.
Cheers,
Lance

It must be the air in the Great White North as I agree with Lance's opinion.

I'm in agreement too. A time period from say 1900 to 35 at the latest would give a huge scope for everyone to pick what they want. Thanks in no part to the last KOTS campaign giving me a lot of inspiration which has resultedin a recent spending spree on kits that 12 months ago I would never have given a second look, I have several that would be great for this!
