In fact, last night there were 60+ on the server, and I used up ~30% fuel (what's that 25 minutes?), in a 5,000ft circuit above Manston/Ramsgate and only 1 single german turned up the whole time - and that was a twin engine, not even a 109.
Yep, it's the luck of the draw. If one field is being strafed, chances are that another one far enough away but also close enough to go after the strafers is free.

That'd be Hawkinge then. Hawkinge has to be the most intensely strafed aerodrome of the lot. In fact, spawn anywhere else then fly to Hawkinge and 8 times out of 10 you'll find 109s down low just asking to be blown to bits.
