Task: Escort six Ju-88 which attack RAF Filton. Its only a diversion attack, to lure RAF fighters away from main strike.

The plan was working. A Hawker Hurricane squadron took off and tried to attack the bombers. Our fighters engaged them and shot them down. Here: kill one!

An other Hurricane is doomed.

The result of the attack: The airfield was missed, but the bombs hit the Bristol Aircraft Company factory. The home of the Blenheim bombers is a ruin now.

The last few meters, then we had dry feets and a daywork was done.

I hope you made the white angles and stripes as decals. It are the signs of a group commanders plane. the other planes of the group had had different markings.

BTW, nice job. Looks good, but the camo is very unusual for WW2.
