^ That was a big mistake. No skipper would be expected to look for trouble with a boat that badly torn up.

About the radar and plane business; I had one bomb me in RFB at night once. It was early war, so I don't see how radar was a factor. If you are close to a base, I think the chances of getting this, go way up. Was it very dark, or just kinda/sorta dark?
