"Waiting. Thinking. Worrying."
"Yes. That's what I usually do."
How do you cope with it, Kyte?"
"I drink."
"That works..."
"I'll get the bottle and two glasses."[/I]

[B]Pilot Officer Rick Thumberland:[/B] Those Hurricanes put themselves on a tight spot!
[B]Section Leader Dave Sailor:[/B] Less chatter, Thumberland! They're doing their job. Let's do ours. Nick keep up with me! Lee! Get those One-oh-Nines that are getting behind the Hurricanes! Thumberland keep yourself glued to your wingman! Remember what Joachim and Andy drilled on to you! Good luck, boys! Over!

[B]Flight Leader Paul Brittany:[/B] We're now in the middle of them! Aim for the other Heinkel. Be careful with those gunners.

[B]PO Kenneth Sheffieldlake:[/B] Ah! At this rate Adolf won't have enough planes to bomb London!
[B]Flight Leader Paul Brittany:[/B] I guess that we'll need more than a pair of bombers destroyed to save London. Let's leave this box! Let's move to their rear.

[B]Flight Leader Paul Brittany:[/B] What are you doing?! Don't keep up with the bombers!
[B]Section Leader Dave Sailor:[/B] Let's be quick joining the Hurries. I have a feeling that their getting themselves in problems.
[B]Pilot Officer Lee Batesy:[/B] Yes sir. We're engaging the fighters.

[B]PO Nick Littlevalleys:[/B] Now that the fighters are scattered we could take those bombers...
[B]Section Leader Dave Sailor:[/B] How many more rounds do you have?
[B]PO Nick Littlevalleys:[/B] What?! Oh! Let's go home.


[IMG]http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i395/Bayushiseni/The%20Kindness%20of%20Strangers%20Campaign/Chapter%2016%20-%20Canal%20Battle/Canal%2067.jpg[/IMG]

[B]WAAF Louise Stone:[/B] Section Leader Dave Sailor, you're clear to go home.
[B]Section Leader Dave Sailor:[/B] I hope that those bombers meet a tough squadron!

[B]WAAF Louise Stone:[/B] They will. I promise you.



[B]In this Scenario:[/B]
This scenario was devised to be a cross-over with my two BoB Solo Campaigns:

[URL="http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?18165-Letters-from-the-War-BoB-and-Med-Blackronin"]My Fire in the Skies Solo BoB Campaign[/URL] with the 111th Fighter Squadron

and
[URL="http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?17437-A-Solo-Campaign-The-Kindness-of-Strangers"]
