A lone Cuttlefish has been spotted out in the open by a patrol consisting of 3 UFAGs, one carrying a bomb-load, who quickly turn and race toward the Tripod before it can make it back to it's home cylinder.
Gary (Baxter, Doug (Windy Jack) and Mark discussing who will fly the bomber or maybe they are divvying up the Mars bars!
The Tripod spots the patrol but, in its haste to escape stumble and topples.
Fortunately the patrol is too far away to take advantage and the Tripod staggers to it's 'feet' and starts heading for 'home'.
The opening shots are fired...
All 3 UFAGs begin to find their range...
And begin to inflict damage on the Tripod, though the Flik 23 UFAG suffers a jam-
More firing and more jams!! Somewhere in the middle of this sequence the Tripod stopped to re-energize but I must have been too busy munching on a Mars Bar to take a photo!
But, despite the best efforts of the intrepid airmen, the Tripod limps back to it's cylinder and safety.
And the butcher's bill reveals that the Tripod was very fortunate to manage that!
