Yep was such a highlight, when you went down over the sea with 2 minutes to go I had a huge hole in my starboard wing, but I was only 1 point ahead so I couldn't ditch, but nor could I run away and hide somewhere, so I thought I'd climb towards you. Spotted you low and fast but I wasn't high enough to avoid you, and I had by then learned that you are
devastating in a head on pass, so I tried to present as difficult an angle as possible. You still managed to clip my port wing so I turned (more like "fell" though with my plane in the condition it was) into you. From then on it was a dodging session at 50ft. I never saw you once but I would often hear the rattle of your guns and try to jink any which way I could. Then no more than a second after "Mission Completed" I burst into flames and keeled over into the ground.
Wish we could have recorded it too, though then everyone would see me flying into the ground because I had target fixation on you, then respawning and jamming my flaps (d'oh!)
Have always had massive respect for you, especially in the Spitfire, which to me is like a flying unicycle. Even losing to you by a point or 2 would have been a massive boost for me.
Here's to the battle for europe mate.
I'm at work at the minute
