Default ATAG Blenheim Bombing Run
As the records now cause a disconnect here is a few pics from a flight with 102nd-YU-Vranac, Divittor and myself in Blenheim and cover from No.501_Drake, No.64_Bounder in Spits.

I was the first casualty, some how I damaged my engine I think I over reved them and crash landed in France.



I then jumped into Divittor's craft and took control of the gunner position.

Over the target our Blenheim started picking up a lot of flak..





I tried to get our speed up by stowing the gunners position.



But soon after we bagged a shell in engine one (This meant power to the gunner position was also cut AWESOME!).





Eventually Divittor was forced to ditch (Perfect ditch btw )





I was pinned down by the gun, but for all my screaming Divittor was too busy "Consoling" a French maid who had witnessed the events unfold and refused to help me get out... bloody pilots always taking all the girls

Thanks for posting the pics Krupi, they look lovely especially in the wheat fields of northern France. Had a lot of fun tonight.

Funny, your guns are almost in line with that shot-up engine cowling - you sure it wasn't a case of FF?

Great flying though - look forward to next time!

Early morning raid on German shipping...











As usual the flak on ATAG is quite something



















I got two of the five ships on the first pass but was brought down at the start of my second run by ATAG_Keller, I had to do another run to get the last three
