    P/O Holden and Sgt Marek were ordered to patrol over Boulogne area to cover evacuation of troops in harbour. They intercepted Do-17 comming from south. When 3 Ju-87 entered the scene, the patrolle split. P/O Holden shot down Do-17 being severly damaged. Sgt Marek attacked 3 Ju-87. Having damaged one of them he was shot down (2 wounds). After emergency landing he is severly injured.

    Ju-87 attacked ships in harbour. HMS Whitshead was hit once. Remaining two Ju-87 missed HMS Keith. AA fire downed one of Ju-87. P/O Holden shot down the other Ju-87 on its way back. The 3rd Ju-87 escaped.

    Terrific AAR. Great photos that show the action.
    The explosions and splashes add nicely to the presentation.

    I really like your Hurricane cockpits. I wish I had the eyes and steady hand to attempt that - much better looking than 'out of the box'.
    All I managed was the wing and tail touch-ups.

    Thanks Pete,

    I am glad you like it
    Cabins need touch up badly. But it is a painfull job you're right. Not finished at all my models. Namely greenhouses of multi crew planes cry for it
