    Default The Kindness of Strangers: Interlude 2 – They Called Them Spitfires

    June 4, 1940

    "Squadron Leader Barrie was fished alive in the Channel", Kyte told us and everybody applauded. "Bad news is, he's got one broken leg, several broken ribs and a few burnings in his face." And all our cheering went silent. "And the others", asked Joachim. Kyte shook his head. “Apart from James and Nick here, there's no notice of any of them." We all look at the group. Six pilots. Five other were gone. One in the hospital for a long recovery. Dave cleared his throat. "What now?" Kyte made a strange face. "Now everything changes, my boy." He sigh heavily. “We’ll be merged with another squadron that also had appalling losses. We’ll rest and train.” “Train?” Asked Joachim. “Yes Joachim. We'’ll change mounts in a few days. We’ll start flying Spitfires.” Everybody went silent in awe. “Oh”, said Kyte, “two more things. I’m now Squadron Leader and Joachim was appointed Blue Section’s Leader.” Another cheer erupted and I went forward and shook Kyte’s hand. “Thank you, Eris”, he said.



    June 8, 1940

    We were all around the recently arrived Spitfires, when the men from the disbanded squadron arrived. They came in an open top truck and they dismounted slowly. Kyte and Joachim left the mess to meet them. I elbowed Dave. He moved his eyes from the cockpit of one of the spits and looked at the newly arrived. Then Joachim shouted. “Andrzej!!” And he start running to one of the pilots who moved quickly in his direction. As they met they embraced laughing loud. “What now?” Asked Dave. Kyte joined us. “Spain? Poland? France?” I asked softly. “I’d say all of it”, replied Kyte. “We have pilots, we have planes, Mr. Churchill says that the Battle of Britain is about to begin... Let’s go to work.”

    Great to meet you chaps The adventure is about to begin...
    I think we should search for a FLI (Friendly Local Inn) - like the famous "Orchard Inn", near Northolt.

    Nope. That's another one. Yes, Nick, I'm crazy enough to have 5 different campaigns going at the same time...

    Wings of war and Glory (WW1, it started 1915 and I don't know when it will end. - 9 Chapters)
    The Kindness of Strangers (It started during Spanish Civil War, I'll go back in time for flashbacks and I don't know when it will end. - 10 Chapters but 2 from Christopher (Fast.Git))
    Fire in the Skies - Battle of Britain (Kinnison's Exploits - 5 missions)
    Fire in the Skies - Malta and Med. (Nicolau's Exploits - 4 missions)
    Fire inthe Skies - PTO (The Mikeyung Brothers Exploits - 4 missions)

    For a grand total of 30 missions flown. And the first one was uploaded December 2nd, 2013. Almost an year ago. Crazy, ahn?!

    Nice! Nick! Now go see two things:

    The Wings of War and Glory Campaign and who is the pilot in The Kindness of Strangers that has the name Littlevalleys.
    If you discover who and why, keep it to yourself.
    Me... I'm going to bed.
    See you tomorrow.
