CMDR's Thoughts.
First off a (belated) Merry Christmas to all, hopefully everyone riding the yule tide had fun and came out alive at the other end :o) Best wishes also for the rest of the holiday season.
I was impressed this week with the ammount of activity I saw from some of you, and I understand the lack of activity exhibited by others, so all in all a pretty good week I guess :o)

(DONT FORGET to check out the "Competitions" and "Orders" sections at the bottom of this report.)
Pilot Of The Week.
This week's Python Squdron POW is...*drum roll*
Lieutenant Commander Narnil!! w00t!, yay!! etc.

LCM Narnil has displayed stellar activiry during this week notching up many FCHG points with his SP Flying and setting a great example for the rest of the Squadron to follow.

Quote Of The Week.
