I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

CJ, yes, that was the one. We had 3 different raid plans one for each day. The Canberras, disappointingly, used the same plan each day.

On the fake raid all aircraft exited radar cover apart from one. He turned back on plan so that QTR aircraft requested authority to engage. The Vulcan crew ordered him to recover and Magdalena assumed he wanted to recover.

He realised he had need spoofed hence the Qtr; well that's my understanding.

In the PDX out raid plans were declared unfair as the Egyptian Air Force was not that sophisticated.

Overall I think you got most if not all the raiders, but then we were playing fighter rules.
