First of all, I like the Halberstadt D.III...for an early war plane it holds its own fairly well and is a maneuverable bird.

Today's session was a pretty much long-awaited [I]Bombers Outing [/I]which featured the first deployment of [B]Avro Vulcan B.2[/B] [I]XH560[/I] in over a month as well as a pair of [B]Avro Lancaster B . IIIs [/B]being attacked by Axis Fighters. The Mission for [B]Thunderball 560 [/B]was an outright success as it conventionally bombed a target which was previously known to aircraft and crew whist ...
