Default Nice story for all you machinima film makers...

Okay, here's one of the nice things that can come about from making 'machinima' movies. Some of you might remember me posting this one a while back:

Now, fast forward to today, and I get a PM on youtube from a relative of the pilot this film was about (Colin Pinckney), who it turns out is in the process of researching the history of his relative. As such, because I have some pieces of the Spitfire in question, which were excavated some years ago, and did a lot of research into Pinckney's exploits, I was able to fill in some of the gaps in the chap's research about his relative. Isn't it nice that something like that can come about from making a film with a flight simulator?

Nice one Chock, youv'e probably saved that relative from doing endless searches, and i'm sure they really appreciate the information you provided.
