On a patrol at the moment in a 1XB in Jan 40

Had a message on the radio warning of slowish task force returning after the Graf Spee with the damaged Exeter ,well so much ASW in channel had to stay down till battery nearly down. No asw on scope so blow tanks only to find a couple of Swordfish ready to dive so thought would tough it out on surface and manned flak gun. Well first 2 were quite easy as they dived in then WO is shouting aircraft spotted every 2 secs and they were everywhere. But they only came in 2 at a time which wasnt to much trouble and not to close together either.Well in the end I shot down 32 Swordfish!!!! must say cant believe they just kept throwing themselves at me. Next start game will post pics of patrol log and will have to wait till i dock to see what damage they did as took a few hits inc one plane straight on the forward deck crew - oops . Last patrol i dont think I saw a plane at all now see 32 Swordfish all in a row
