Know the feeling, I get a taste for the French landscape every time they send me out on a ground attack mission. The Bosche must have some damn good marksmen, or some cheeky bugger has drawn a target circle underneath my Sopwith Pup! Tricky getting the hang of the rudder of these kites, I seem to spend a lot of time sliding sideways, something I've never experienced before, so the first time it happened it was somewhat un-nerving. Figured it out now and can counter it, but sideways sliding at seventy feet...well...brown trousers and it wasn't caused by the fuel!
