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 edal86, its just gone past 10am here, and I'll be home at around 6pm (which I think is 10am your time).
