Some final testing on the September 15th. BoB missions

Well I think we were scrambled too late as we never got above the Jerries!

Here's one!

Well, just damaged !

Did a better job here but got nicked myself. Had to bail out later!

Air Vice Marshal Trafford Leigh-Mallory: All that matters is to shoot them down in large numbers. I'd rather destroy fifty after they've hit their targets than ten before.

Air Vice Marshal Keith Park: Don't forget, the targets are my airfields, Leigh-Mallory. And you're not getting fifty. You're not even getting ten!

I'm still a Park Man. Leigh Mallory was lucky the LW changed their objectives. Park won the BoB though.
