And if you thought bandits at 6 o'clock meant there was time for tea and bisquits before the shooting then you probably wouldn't know how to operate a sling shot let alone a machine gun and bomb sights were right out of the question, and you were probably put inside an aircraft by mistake.


I still have no idea how the F plane could be the number 7 plane unless the Germans had extra letters in between the A and F. Either the page linked above made a typo or something is going on that hasn't been accounted for yet.

Would be something to look into too, the 800th, 801st and 803rd squadrons on Ark Royal. The tiny glimpse I got suggested that the squadrons' markings would differ in format and not only in letters and numbers.
