402nd Mission report - Patrol Florennes - Christmas Day '44
Bugger all to report from us, an eeriliy quiet day; perhaps Jerry were all huddled in their tents getting fat on duck, goose or rabbit with apple and sausage stuffing?
Sure was sad to see our old home desserted and smoking. After patrolling Florennes for a while we headed towards the 485 target area to see if anything could be hoovered up, having set off with a pair of 500s just in case. However, a brief encounter with what turned out to be friendlies spooked us enough to pickle the eggs before we could use them. Not that there was anything to hit in any case.
We knocked it off and headed home, with the only further excitment caused by Red 4 (gizm0) nearly running out of fuel. Jabo (Red 3) escorted him to nearby Bierset for a precautionary landing. I've ordered his groundcrew to relearn how to count to 100.
