July 15, 1940
Briefing:
Do-17's attack a convoy in the Thames Estuary
On a terrible weather day, in which there should be no enemy action, 15 D0-17's attempt an attack on a convoy "Pilot", in the Thames Estuary.
Spits and Hurricanes from North Weald scramble to defend the convoy.
Great to hear the call "20+ contacts", definitely gets the heart rate up.
Welcome back Ming (and Marsh) :)

And the head to head takeoffs sure concentrated the mind. Shoot the bloody airfield controller for that one.
ReplyDeleteLol! I forgot about that.
ReplyDeleteI'll add it to the list of things to check. I check each mission to swap out stand in a/c for correct ones in HSFX anyway.
