The Wright Flight took to the skies again on Saturday December 10th, 2022. We had a couple of Handley-Page O/400 Bombers with a Bristol F.2B as escort against German Scouts.
The Mighty Bombers start their approach.
Here come the Germans. A Siemens-Schuckert D.III, three Fokker D.VII and a Fokker E.V.
The bombers are intercepted! Bullets start to fly!
Our first collision of the day!
Where there is smoke!
There is usually fire!
The first Handley-Page goes down in flames!
A Sopwith Snipe comes to join the fight!
The second Handley-Page drops its bombs. A bit too far!
The Germans have caught up with the second bomber!
One of the Fokker D.VII goes down!
Can the Handley-Page survive!
No! The second Handley-Page goes down as well!
