Short Stukas and 109's are inbound for Portland
Briefing:
"Don't stand and tell, ring the bell like 'ell!!!!!"
SCRAMBLE! SCRAMBLE!
Stukas escorted by 109's have been picked up on radar headed for Portland apparently. Spits from Middle Wallop and Hurricanes from Tangmere are called upon to intercept them and prevent them from doing any damage.
Interesting weather, low cloud at 1000ft, headed for Portland Bill. Tried to find the enemy, but the weather had other ideas. 51 and 331 managed to find the Stukas and got in amongst them downing a fair number.
Back to base on fumes for a landing, but spotting a high contact, it had to be investigated. All four of 92 took off. At 13000ft I ran out of fuel and had to perform my first dead stick for years. All the practise in RoF is paying off, as I didn't even bounce the Spit.
Good flying all. Apollo, 5 kills in a mission.... Nice.

Proper cloud cover.... Splash and Keets after the first landing.
That 352 map really makes a difference to these missions, lovely rich textures and colours.
ReplyDeleteSpits look crisp too, wish I could have joined. I've got bootcamp on my Mac but no JS or TIR. It'd be a nightmare/more of a nightmare than usual.
