RAF74 is hosting. Involved are JG1, WW, LE and RAF74.
Campaign is now up to the 9th mission.
It is the recreation of operation pedestal. We are using the okinawa map, as the distances involved are very similar.
While the boys battled over the carriers yesterday, RAF74 Buzzsaw sent WW_Dubya and i off in dive bombers to find an italian convoy with fuel supplied crossing from Italy to north Africa.
Buzzsaw gave us a heading of 162 degrees, for 35 minutes. (35 minutes!
Dubya and i took off over flew the carrier and set off over the ocean on a course bearing 162. After 32 minutes flying over nothing but water, there on the horizon was the convoy moving south. Dubya and I attacked into stiff AAA.
Dubya sank 1 tanker and i damaged the other. Unfortunately due to AAA there was no return journey, but the experience of flying on faith for 35 minutes and to then find a convoy in formation, moving was just wonderful

Hi Tai,
Good to see you around! Yes, I think that operations over water have a very special feel.
Cheers,
