Me 110G-4s scramble<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our Treasurer has just realised that he had omitted to write up the fourth session of our campaign from the end of last year – still better late than never!<\/p>\n

This session began with an attack by the Me110s of 3.NJG5, which had just infiltrated the tail of the bomber stream as it left Berlin.\u00a0 The Me110s weaved backwards and forwards across the bomber stream using their on-board radar to detect and attack targets.\u00a0 John La was first onto the score sheet, detecting ‘Q for Queenie’.\u00a0 He missed the target on the first pass, but sent the bomber down on his second.<\/p>\n

As the bombers headed off to the northwest, 3.NJG5 stuck with them and continued their attack. Three bombers went down in quick succession, the first, ‘O for Oboe’ to John, then ‘P for Peter’ to Andy and finally ‘N for Nab’ by Marcus in his first combat.\u00a0 However, the bombers then struck back, as first Steve took damage and was forced to break off in an attack on ‘M for Mother’, then worse still Marcus was shot down by ‘L for Love’.<\/p>\n

Now another Me-110 unit, 4.NJG3 of Steve’s 2.Jagddivision was able to infiltrate the bomber stream.\u00a0 However, their attack got off to a poor start as the alert gunners of ‘K for King’ shot down John’s attacking fighter.<\/p>\n

The bombers were now re-crossing the German defensive radar line and the Me-110s of 3.NJG3 were successfully vectored in to attack from their overwatch positions.<\/p>\n

At this point we ran out of time for the day, leaving the raid to be concluded in a fifth and final session, which will be a catch up to bring all players up to 2 sessions played.<\/p>\n

At the end of session 4 the points scored were as follows:<\/p>\n
