I really hope something like that's not going to be a regular occurrence.

This doesn't have much to do with renagades. From my understanding, 'The Battle of Barking Creek' was caused by a systems error on the radar causing the ground controllers to vectored to the Spitfire squadron to the vacinity of a squadron of Hurricanes, The relative inexperience of the pilots involved and not having a positive identification of the targets.

Later in the war I guess they would have refered to the situation as FUBAR.

It did however give the RAF reason to analyse what went wrong and try their best to work out how to avoid a similar thing happening in the future.

Cheers!
