Perhaps it wasn't Sept 7th but it was the same approach. That day was quiet, the calm before the storm, and when the plots appeared in the very late afternoon FC thought it would be more of the same airfield attacks - the RAF was nearly on her knees, but no, they were relieved to see the heading go toward London. Isle of Dogs and the eastern docklands were struck in this raid.
On my second pass on the group just before I fired I saw the bombs drop out of the bellies of the Hun dogs, then I let rip. I received fire from behind during and after my pass, at first thinking it was air gunnery. New graphics from the patch were a pleasant surprise - smashed gauges, gunsight and canopy, and a beautiful rendering of shattered armoured glass in the front. Time to get out, I bailed and parachuted into Islington.
No.501 certainly mauled the main group and although we had 2 shot up I lived and the other landed damaged into Gravesend. All of our chaps got home after spending their ammunition. I think No.401 hit the bombers before us, No.56 afterwards, and No.64 and No.41 did a great job by intercepting fighters ahead of that. No.71 got stuck in but took a bit of a hammering being the first in line.
Well done all round.

My mistake, one of our chaps just reported that as his position. It's really cool looking down on those features in London
A bit stuttery but playable, hopefully that will improve further anyway.
