In "F5" day :D , a little story to distract:

Last night, I decided make a single flight with Blenheim on ATAG server, before sleep.

A typical travel to French coast, hit some ships and go back.

In this case "bagged" four tanker's (http://imageshack.us/a/img827/9895/67120523.jpg), but receive a FLAK hit in right engine that start loose oil...
So after readjust P-8 and recalibrate the DG I took course for Littlestone, now with one engine,
at 110MHP.

With English Point in sight, I receive a call from rear gunner.

"Skipper Heinkel 4 o'clock. (http://imageshack.us/a/img69/7551/83150673.jpg)"

Well, probable some IA at 1000 meters height in the way to target, I think.
In any case, I switched places with the gunner to take a look.

A black, big He.111 just 100 meters above, apparently trying to align to do a "aerial" bombing!

I emptied two Vickers drums on it, that turn to left and move away with a thin black leakage in his left engine. Oil! :devilish:

But probably the pilot did not want to try return to France with an single engine and turned toward me again.

Slow and low, I began a turn to the left, trying to keep him in sight.
He was very low, looks set to make a ditching, but rose suddenly and collided with me... No survivors. :(

Great After Action Report, Sokol! :thumbsup:

I always find it intriguing to read about two "heavies" slugging it out. Too bad about the collision, but at least that was one more enemy bomber that failed to make it back to home base! :)

Lol, I wonder what the 111 pilot had in mind there. Great report 1lokos.
