I roll over and with plenty of bottom rudder, get the nose below the horizon, twisting around under the oncoming shower of Spitfires. Then up and around, but not too tightly. This not only clears my tail but gives me a nice view of a Tommy who's crossing from left to right.
He's going quite quickly so I max out the revs for a short while, to help me close the range faster. The Spitfire is in a gentle right-hander so I can cut the corner too.
I keep slightly below him, in the hope he won't see me...
...and let him have it when his wings nearly fill the ring on my reflector sight. My rounds crash into him...
...and down he goes, falling like a shot bird!
Now, that's what I call a good start!
