No losses either. Nice work gents. No war stories? I'll start... I jumped in for a quick test flight alone (I know....) Got reports of a raid far south, I landed and took off again with full fuel. New plane but I'm sure there was nothing wrong with Hurri P2824. Missed them on the way in and turned to follow. Too late I found 9 bombers turning back from Farnborough at 16K. Above and behind were 12 escorts, 8 of whom took an unhealthy interest in my lone Hurri. I had altitude and gave them a good run, got hits on one but eventually they were equal altitude and energy and I was trying to figure out how to get away. I thought they were E-1's at first (yellow nose and wingtips) but I definitely saw cannon rounds exploding past me when one fired. They must have run low on fuel, at one point I looked back and nobody was there anymore. I turned to follow their reported egress heading in an empty sky, radar had them all at angels 1, and I caught up with them again near the coast skimming the trees. Pulled in behind a 109 and got him right at convergence with a short burst, his engine caught fire immediately, he rolled over and went straight in. I came back down from a zoom climb behind another and set his left wingroot on fire. I was about to get behind a third when I saw contacts off to the side. I thought it was the bombers or maybe a recon flight that had been reported (single at 2K)so I turned after them. Turns out they were balloons. By the time I turned back the sky was empty. I gave chase to that single radar contact just south of the coast near Rye, guessing it was a recon flight, but never found him. Low on fuel I turned for home but had to land at Eastchurch. Took off again with the same plane, V6603, and landed safe at home plate. Claiming 2 x 109 and another damaged.

Yea, good fun it was. Learned a couple of tricks to fly more un-economical to keep up with you lot but who cares about fuel usage during those middle short climb fast as hell missions. Also learned how the two staged under carrige works the hard way. After D Bader brought it up I heard a new set is on its way to Gravesend with DHL express. Strange scoring. I really saw that bitch burning and decending at a fast speed. Not a chance in hell it made it back to France. Sod it.

Certainly was chaps! Well done on our first SOW3 sortie.

Agree FT. If we fly like this and stay together and everyone watch his buddys hinten we will do well.

Nevermind Swep! Someone probably got more hits on it prior to your attack and your short burst, whilst flaming the bugger, as percentage of the number of hits was actually low. It ain't fair but them's the breaks. Next time mate! Great work Perf!

Darn good show this session, at the SOW server, but also at our own... good teamwork and shift!! Enjoyed it very much!
