A sad loss and showed just how we sent 'em up too soon. Of course if the Airships hadn't insisted on close formation perhaps it may have been a different outcome all together. Bit slow for the Big Wing of course and had to form up a smaller wing with the DH82s when they weren't used for night fighting.
