Jeremy Pluck The Fightin' 56! Here's another brief encounter. We were vectored in south-east of Mersea just after my first cup of tea. Expecting bombers, we ran into a flight of 109's about 200 feet above us. We met them in a climbing turn and then we formed a chain of everyone-shoot-the-guy-in-front-of-them-whilst-avoiding-the-bloke-behind-them. I got some nervous shots on the fellow attacking Leader, but never got to follow through with the kill. After several round-abouts, Jerry headed for home and despite slamming the throttle to the stop, I couldn't make any headway and watched them go. As I was circling back, I did see one enemy A/C going down with a dead prop and was able to provide confirmation for one of my squad mates...
Ended up a dangerous day with two of us lost against at least two of them...
The older I get, the more I realize I don't need to be Han, Luke or Leia. I'm just happy to be rebel scum...
