bombay

We flew with a mixture of 3X Stingray`s and 6X500pounders.
The bombs were for any surface ship trying to drop special forces on ASI and the torps were for any sub found south of the equator. Maggie had warned the Soviets to back off, which they did, removing the Charlie that had followed the TG south.
Hydraulics were a problem, we lost both the green and blue systems just after the second refuel bracket, it was an awful long way home on the red pump.
