ATAG Blenheim Bombing Run

[JG52Krupi]

As the records now cause a disconnect here is a few pics from a flight with 102nd-YU-Vranac, Divittor and myself in Blenheim and cover from No.501_Drake, No.64_Bounder in Spits.

I was the first casualty, some how I damaged my engine I think I over reved them :oops: and crash landed in France.

I then jumped into Divittor's craft and took control of the gunner position.

Over the target our Blenheim started picking up a lot of flak..

I tried to get our speed up by stowing the gunners position.

But soon after we bagged a shell in engine one (This meant power to the gunner position was also cut AWESOME!).

Eventually Divittor was forced to ditch (Perfect ditch btw :D )

I was pinned down by the gun, but for all my screaming Divittor was too busy "Consoling" ;) a French maid who had witnessed the events unfold and refused to help me get out... bloody pilots always taking all the girls :evil:

Thanks for posting the pics Krupi, they look lovely especially in the wheat fields of northern France. Had a lot of fun tonight.

Funny, your guns are almost in line with that shot-up engine cowling - you sure it wasn't a case of FF? ;)

Great flying though - look forward to next time!

HAHA, well I did tell him it was time for me to go to bed but he was insisting on landing back in Britain I had to take matters into my own hands ;)

I got two of the five ships on the first pass but was brought down at the start of my second run by ATAG_Keller, I had to do another run to get the last three :D
