I was low on fuel, but "for King and Country -- Tally Ho!". We slowly overtook the Spit and passed him, but we couldn't gain on the yellownose. He dragged us clear across the Channel to France and I was fully expecting his pals to greet us as Cap Gris Nez approached. I was surprised when he suddenly went vertical over his coast and opted to engage us; I figured he'd simply lure us over one of his airfields and let the AAA do its work. Just then my engine spluttered and died. Bingo fuel! Aaaarrrrrgggghhhhh! I left him to you guys and plonked unceremoniously down in a French seaside field. In self-loathing I signed off and went upstairs for a ham sandwich. Oh, the shame!!!!! LOL
