“A” Flight was put on patrol and after numerous “Vectors” was
informed that there was an enemy aircraft ahead of them, with a fighter on
its tail. Almost immediately afterwards a twin engine aircraft was sighted
with Defiant on its tail, the flight gave chase P/O. Stein was just about to
open fire when he recognised the machine as a Blenheim. He broke away, but
Sgt King gave it a 2 seconds burst, happily not hitting it. |
