Is this Bloody April?

Nice mission last night, though a dip in Central Powers active fliers saw the Entente outnumbering the boche for a change.

Quick trip along the front with yours truly leading. Osprey calling out bandits, takes the lead and heads for them. I think I wasn't the only one who didn't see them until the tyres had whistled overhead.

 

The weather looks nice for April

In the brittle N17, I fully expected a slaughter, but being gentle with things seems to work. Good work from all pilots had the bad guys either running or on the deck.

A climb back up to patrol height, whiz across the lines and then back for tea and medals muffins. :-)

 

A landing of sorts - check Osprey's bent wing.

Great fun all and nice to have the 19 chaps in. A complaint from the ground crew that we had to hose out Marsh's cockpit and not because he was wounded. :)
