Ruddy Bad Morning, The Sqn was Patrolling Boxhall and mixed it up with 4 110's. I ended up chasing one to France, but lost him in clouds. I headed for Lympne AF for Juice and ran into a Bombing raid. What a way to go into battle. I had around 4 Sec's ammo. no fuel, and down at 3,000 ft. The field took some damage and I had to dodge a Hurri that was in the middle of the flight path. Spent the rest of day helping and getting a fuel browser running.
