    Default WGF WF01 - Night Fight over Wulpen (WGF historical scenario for 1 or 2 players)

    Flanders, 30 June 1918: Handley Page O/400 bombers of 214 Squadron RAF were dispatched from their base at Saint Inglevert (Calais) on a night raid to attack bridges near the occupied Belgian city of Bruges. On this clear moonlit night O/400 serial C9648 crewed by 2Lt. A G Potter, Lt. J D Vance and Sgt. R G Kimberly was still on its way to the target when intercepted near Wulpen by a Halberstadt CL.II of Schlasta 16.

    This is a WGF historical scenario for 1 or 2 players requiring one Special Bomber Pack Handley Page O/400 (RNAS) and one Series 7 Halberstadt CL.II (Niemann & Kolodzicj).

    I know originally I was only intending to write a series of scenarios away from the Western Front but some recent research brought this incident to my attention and I thought it warranted a mission.

    The image below was taken by the Dutch the morning after the O/400 made the emergency landing on the beach at Valkenisse. The pilot 2Lt. Potter did well to get her down on the sand in one piece, with 8 bombs still onboard!
