Blenhiem of Doom run 52Sqdn and 617 Sqdn with Friends

Post by Pegasusbelgar »

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...

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.
