Briefing: Its late in the afternoon of Tuesday, July 16th. Radar has picked up multiple contacts (40+) heading for Ventnor on the Isle of Wright at around Angels 10.
Spitfires from Biggin Hill are fueled and ready to go.
A cross country flight with the sun rapidly going down and late evening mist. Interesting to see we started to get a bit jumpy about whether we'd missed the attack. Finally when it came there a lot of aircraft. I think we prevented Ventor getting hit, but Pompey docks got a pasting from what I saw.
Lots of diverts to alternate airfields. Great to see an almost full mission.
