21 Blenhiems on airfield before take off on, target Dusseldorf. Great flight by all but unfortunately when passing Antwerp the Luftwuffles scramble their planes.

Nice shots! Especially that last one with all the cons on your 6, and the 2 Blens flaming...

Nice Shots Belgar, apparently we were spotted by dd's is how Bersi found us. But it was Fun, as we always say, we needed more escorts

Maybe we needed less Blens, more airspeed and more altitude too? :lol:

Nice crowd!
I think 'Blens -o-Doom' is a great idea to get noobs into bombing. We had a lot of greentags.
The problem we had was late tier ftrs vs early tier bombers.
We were sitting ducks. You KNOW they were pissing themselves when they caught us.
On the other hand we actually got kills against them! I got a 109f and I know we got at least one Fw with a blen.

Damn! I stayed awake till 1am or so waiting for some guys to come on, but didn't see anyone else on TS in the 70 Sqdn room, so I quit. Looks like I just missed this one....
