Personal History:

Captain Maarvin is another of the squadron's strong all-rounders.  He began his career in the role of fighter and quickly became accomplished.  After a successful tour in that role, he retrained to become a bomber pilot and is now highly experienced in both long- and short-range operations.  Unnaturally modest, he is nevertheless fearsomely accurate with a bombsight whilst retaining excellent defensive fighter skills.  Although not usually assigned Flight Leader duties, he is experienced in the role of Master Bomber for the squadron in matches.  

Maarvin was a member of RAC's winning RBWL VI team in 2005.  Although he participated in both War Forces and the World League in 2006, his Red Baron days are now behind him due to a computer upgrade.   

His loss to Red Baron will be considerable, both as a pilot and as a thoughtful training officer whose views and patient assistance were invaluable to lesser pilots (Felix, mostly).  He was a founder member of the squadron's Euroflight and a driving force behind the squadron's adoption of IL2 as a possible eventual successor to RB3D as the squadron's principal activity.  

  He spends what little spare time he has blowing sideways into a long metal tube.  The reasoning behind this is, as yet, undiscovered, but Questions will be asked.
