A great read Olife, good to see the Hurricane getting stuck in Shame about frog 5 though.. but his own fault for being so naive and eager.

Keep them coming

millions thx my friend for kind words!

angle was a real code used in the raf ,in fact it is angle for altitude ,i read it in the book " LE GRAND CIRQUE "write by the 1st french ace of ww2 PIERRE CLOSTERMANN,who joigned the RAF .

in the extract of this book ,the radar operator said to him :

...HULLO DALMAT RED ONE ,PANDOR CALLING , BANDITS APPROACHING B FOR BAKER AT ANGLES Z FOR ZEBRA ...in fact b-baker is a code name for an area and angle Z is a code name for altitude Z ,in the case of PIERRE CLOSTERMANN fight ,Z is a letter code for 40000 feets!130000 meters of altitude.
it seems that the code name for altitude " angels "was used too ,or maybe one of this 2 words is wrong because of the confusion and stress during a battle ,pilots say angles instead of angels or inversaly ,or just a print error.

thx again sincerely

Oh lol Angels, of course. I feel silly now for not realising. It was the codes got me confused. Ive only ever read altitude spoken as a number. Angels 10 (10,000ft). I'm not sure they would have had the same letter word for an altitude and for an area.

I've just finished reading Derek Robinson's novel Piece of Cake for the umpteenth time. In that they just subtract 2 for the altiude code, Angels 10 (12,000ft) and places or areas are given names of objects
(Fishpaste = Dover, Lampstand = Isle of Sheppey)

The code for the altitude was -2 (then later -4) so when the flight got told angels 10 they went up to 12,000 ft. So if Jerry was listening in he would intercept too low and would be unable to bounce the flight so easily. I don't know if in reality they did that. It's a fictional story even though heavyly based on facts and events.
