"Tangmere Pilots" recruiting

[No1 Cheese]

S!

Last sundays mission saw Tangmere Pilots of all 4 Squadrons breaking down into 3 games to fly this mission,9 pilots took part in the mission i flew.
5 A/C Lead by Wg Cmdr Mothyp took on the 1st bridge,While Blue section lead as always by F/Lt Charlie went for the 2nd bridge with 4 A/C.
Charlie went into a shallow dive to release his 2 500lb,closely followed by me,Moggy and Kluge.
Charlie missed the tgt and pulled up to avoid the intense AAA.
I dropped my bombs onto the tgt observing hits(see pic) but alas(again)the damn bridge was still standing!!!!
Moggy and Kluge also missed the main tgt but both attracted a lot of attention from the defending AAA and both picked up damage for the flight home.
Tangmere Pilots have a short break for Christmas but are back on Ops very soon.
Hope all have a very Happy Christmas and a better New Year.
