It seems we've got to go faster next time. The Jerries were already on their way home when we arrived. Winston doesn't like that.:dead:
So once we have assembled it will be 90/90 next time.
I hope our plants can keep pumping out new engines.:damn:

That would be the best anyway. Let them bastids come to us. We save fuel, wear on the plane and have more spare time that way. It's definitely much better than chasing after them!:yeah:

Yup. :yep: But then the Merchant Navy screams at us that we're not protecting their convoys.... :damn: So, we have to make an effort. :yep:

Sounds like a fun campaign you guys are playing.

It always bugged me how there were no good campaigns or closely linked series of missions about BoB for IL2, so a big :yeah: to however makes these. I'll try to hop in tonight(you fly on Mo, We and Th right?) if football allows. Just read Peter Townsend's Duel of Eagles, so at least the mood should be just about right.

12th July 1940

http://www.raf.mod.uk/bob1940/images/12jul1.jpg

Luftwaffe target: Convoy Booty
The chief features of the day's operations were attacks on shipping and one raid on Aberdeen. The main shipping raid consisted of 2 formations of 12+ and 6+ aircraft which attacked a convoy off the Norfolk-Suffolk coast in the morning. Five fighter sections were despatched to intercept and these were further reinforced by one squadron. The ensuing action resulted in six enemy aircraft being shot down for certain and 2 more probable. One Hurricane is missing and one crashed on landing.
A second, though less intensive raid, on shipping took place in the afternoon off the Isle of Wight. This was intercepted by one squadron and resulted in one enemy aircraft being shot down and two others probable.
Other actions along the coasts brought the total to 10 certain and 4 probable, the aircraft which bombed Aberdeen being included. One other Hurricane was brought down in the sea, but the pilot is safe.

CASUALTIES:
  • Enemy: Fighters - 2 unconfirmed; Bombers - 10 confirmed, 2 unconfirmed.
  • Own: 3 Hurricanes.
