Operation Pedestal was a British operation to carry supplies to the island of Malta in August 1942
Gentlemen after successfully pushing back the Italians , the Germans have been forced to send troops , armour and aircraft to shore up their Allies. They are supplied by ship across the Mediterranean. These convoys are harassed by submarines and aircraft from Malta.
We have been diverted to Malta to assist in the air cover for a vital supply convoy. If this convoy does not get through then the aircraft will not have fuel or ammunition and the islanders will starve. The island will be forced to surrender and we will lose a vital staging post for harassing Rommels shipping supply.
In order for the map to work we will be flying from German airfields on the map. We will have hurricanes and P-40s. If you have the desert mod on and use the skins then although the enemy are flying from Russian airfields they will have the correct markings.
The task is to fly to the south of the island and protect ships. A second wave of enemy bombers will be forming up to attack from the south. There may be other enemy aircraft active over the Island
Plan is to run this on Sunday 3nd November.
