Four of us took off fron Tangmere, we regrouped and climbed over the coast. I didn't pay attention and had selected a Hurri DH instead of a Rotol, so I had prblems keeping up with my mates.
After about 20-25 minutes we spotted the convoy and immediately several contacts were seen approaching it from the south. We dived and engaged alone Stuka, three of us shot at it and it went down.
I lost contact with the others after that, SYN_Jedders got one Bf-110 before being himself bounced and killed. SYN_Kollwitz had to RTB due to engine damage and eventually bailed out just short of the English coast. SYN_Repent got one 109 in the vicinity of the convoy.
I patrolled at low alt for a while near the convoy without seeing anyone, despite Jed and Repent calling several contacts, but they were probably way above me.
Being low on fuel I returned home and landed back at Folkestone with 4 gallons of fuel left in the main tanks.
