Last nights mission(No38 of our current campaign) was made by F/Lt Bunny DSO** DFC***
145 Squadron B Flight Leader, Blue Section
Executive Officer 145 Squadron.
Now as stated before, he normally throws the odd spanner in the works but this week the GIT did well.
As from now Baron Von Bunster is not being spoken too by the rest of the tangmere pilots(and rightly so).
I can only talk for No1 squadron(but I think the other 3 lesser squadrons ? followed in the same path) climbed to angels 20.
Then our C/O No1 MothyP gave the order for B Flt and Green Flt to climb to angels 25.
Now at that height in an early mk Hurribus is one thing,we was pretty well strung out as we tried to form on Blue Flt Ldr Charlie,but it all come together when it mattered most.
We encountered 8 110s as they attacked A flt,I called”BREAK BREAK” to the C/O and he managed to miss the attention of the ferocious guns of the the 110 that was diving on him.
After that it was was all for himself as we dived and turned to try to get the upper hand on the enemy fighters,bearing in mind that we was after the bloody bombers that we had not seen.As we made it back to base,in dribs and drabs we had accounted ourselves well.
P/O Griffin managed to land in one piece and was saying to “See Boss I can do it” when 3 He 111s appeared over our base as we was on finals!!!!
Griff took off once again(having a full load of ammo)into the fray again,climbing and making contact with Madmick to have a go at the hun again.
Know what followedwill go down in No1(virtual)Folk law.
Griff took off(after landing successfully(PHEW) to get another crack at the bombers over head,Mick(who just happens to be a bit of a dab hand at shooting the b**tards from the sky was with him!!!!
As they both went into attack Griff shouted” theres a smoker and thers another 1”
And then couldn’t make it back to base because of engine trouble!!!
Mick on the other hand landed back at base with a few shared kills(1 of my 110s) and was heard to say”cheers for the back up griff,but you weren’t really needed!!)
Bloody Great mission with more than a few surprises,how they do it week in week out really does amaze me,and im a noobe only being with them 2 yrs!!!!!
All the Best
