Excellent first campaign.

Ford aerodrome had some bumps but we did find out where they were and most of us lot up in the end. I led our chaps out and unfortunately we weren't as well grouped as we thought. I never saw the ships and I didn't see the Hurricanes once they turned on 090. At 16k ft 3 of us were attacked by 2 109's, (which turned out to be Krupi + 1) and a fight ensued. Within a few moments I found myself alone with these 109's after scoring hits on 1 and causing leaks from wingroots. The fight descended to the deck, I received some hits and lost 2 guns before getting more hits on the leaking 109 and seeing oil stream from the engine. Then I saw a 109 chasing something on the deck so I decided to dive for it and in doing so was wary of the other 109, sure enough he had also dived and must have seen me at the last second before I could fire. I managed to get a handful more hits before being bounced again by Krupi. I survived for a bit longer but 2 was too much in the end and I spun in during a hard break.

@Krupi, I know you hung around to help but I was actually looking to get out of that fight by diving away but didn't get the chance to because we all dived in the same direction!

From a FM and DM perspective its a frustration because I caused a lot of damage to 1 of the 109's and he carried on flying, and the other seemed to have little trouble with 2 feet of wing missing
