So, here was I, the other day reading through a book I got in Leiston for 25p:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hardest-Day-.../dp/0304350818

In this book it details the Luftwaffle high/low raid on Kenley, now picture the scene. Last night I boot up BOBII for a relaxing raid battle, pick a mission at random and set off in my Hurri.
Got a raid contact from control and vectored in for it, couldn't see anything but Blue 1 called out bandits at two o clock, opened the canopy and had a squint in that direction and saw a gaggle of bombers, so we dived in, I got a Dornier and I saw at least three others go down. As I overshot my kill and turned away, I saw more bombs raining down on the airfield the Dorniers had just bombed, I thought to myself 'Where the devil are they coming from?' and looked up to see a large formation overhead at some altitude. At this point I thought to myself, this is a bit odd, this is just like the raid I was reading about just the other day, so I made a note of the airfield they were raiding.
Kenley.

What are the chances of that? Accidentally flying the mission you read about just the other day?
