The Fightin' 56th Squadron!
Another scramble to Margate. Seems the RDF has a hair up its bum over the North Sea entrance to the Channel...Anyway, it was at least later in the morning so we got a proper breakfast...As we were circling our ships, we spotted a flight of bombers west of us, closer to shore! Heading in, I attacked one, but Kennicot with his steadier hand finished the bugger off!
I thought I was going to go home empty handed (again) when I spotted explosions near our ships back to the east. I headed out that way and ran into a whole flight of Heinkels! Settling in on the leader, I was able to take him down but only after he put seven holes in my left wing and shot away the controls for my gear and flaps. That necessitated a rough belly landing at the field and a new plane and pair of trousers for me!


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...
