Well, it happened:



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

After taking down two JU88's and evading a 109 while out of ammo and needing fuel, Pilot #1 returned to Hawkinge to rearm and refuel before "getting back up there". Before take off, he reported bombers above the airfield and tried desperately to get his plane up in the air.

Whilst pushing his engine, the bombs fell at the end of the runway near 100 yards ahead. The little bomb timers ticked in his head as he frantically tried to pull on the stick and get out of their blast, but it was no good. Killed by shrapnel through the cockpit, Pilot #1 slumped over the controls as his dutiful Spitfire rolled him away from danger and let him rest near a country road in the land he fought so hard to defend.

Rest in peace, pilot #1. Now ends your war.
