One of those lone Spitfires was me!

The first mission was a total bust really, with just myself and Spud against Schroeder and Hunter in Me-BBQs and TF in some random 190 copy.
Spud bought the farm about half-way through, I think the AI got him, I spent the time at high altitude waiting for the inevitable 262 or TAthing attack. I spotted what most have been one of the TAthings, then lost it, then found it again after it tried shooting at me (and missed) and went after it, then lost it again after a head-on pass.
So, despairing of finding any sign of the 262s, I decided on the old Allied trick of getting them as they come into land. Unfortunately the Jerry flak coverage is pretty good and I get badly beat up and decided to Allah Ackbar into the airfield in a vain attempt to kill someone.

The second mission I've already described
