"HunterICX leading Oberon on a strafing run against Allied landing beaches"

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? :lol:

More tales from the cockpit:

Flying a patrol over Ventnor CH, my patrol vector on the map was in the region of 290-280. I call up the tower and ask for my vector, it's 217. So I follow 217 for a bit, and I'm told the distance is 200-150 miles. So I open up the map again and take a look, the only thing 200-150 miles from me at bearing 217 is the bloody coast of France!!

German spies get everywhere... :damn:

Schultz has taken a job in RAF despatch after getting so much crap from you guys in the last few campaigns.:lol:

:D I wouldnt have noticed untill I saw the Eiffel tower :lol:

''Mmm...this is strange''

HunterICX

Someone picks up phone and yells. "Hunter Its for you".

[hunter walks to phone, and picks it up]

Hunter is there gona be a flight tonight, or has this entire campaign stopped untill further notice?

Evenin' all

The Oberon is back, and he's brought himself a shiny B-17 for MFS and CFS back (as well as a little die-cast Hurricane), and some rather blurry (due to bad camera and lighting) photos which he will try to upload in the coming days.

So, what have I missed?

Hello all, got my computer fixed, but my joysticks Z axis went out.
