10th July 1940

Scramble!

After our first patrol we sat down to have a cup of tea when at the sudden the order to scramble came in, we rushed to our crates and took off.




We headed South West again, underway we where joined by other squadrons heading to intercept the incomming Luftwaffe.

Just before the coast we spotted them ''Tally Ho!''




We had Stuka's and BF110's all around us when we headed into them, I managed to lay a burts of machine gun fire on one stuka when a BF110 shot me from my six, unlucky for me this was the end as my hurri started to smoke heavily, it was time to dive and get the bloody hell out of there.




Thought my engine was damaged it kept going well and finally I reached the airfield, when I was about to lower my gear and flaps I heard a loud bang and my RPM dropped like a stone. I came hard on the ground and hitted a tree but managed to walk away from the crashsite.



I later heard the news about the interception that we managed to shoot down 33 luftwaffe aircraft and lost 11 of our boys in the event.
