Flight Sub-Lt Alex Ackworth - RNAS 4 - Coudekerque - 11 July 1916 (Mission 17)

We have only 5 flyable planes and this morning they are all out for an artillery spotting mission east of Ypres. Our leader Lt Richmond will do the spotting while we scan the skies for bad guys. Weather is grey with low clouds but only 2/5 cover, which should allow for the spotting.

And this is how it goes... We turn around when five Fokker EIIIs climb towards us and the furball begins. We have the altitude advantage and we down three of them (one for me !) The other two run for home. Three of our planes including mine will need a little patching job, so Lt Richmond, after regrouping everyone, takes us to Bailleul airfield. We will fly to Coudekerque later in the afternoon.
