CAMPAIGN DIARY:
August 21st, 1940. Biggin Hill

First, let me introduce you to our replacement pilots: Philip, who is a Canadian, and Karel, who is from Czechoslovakia. Thanks for being here. We need you. I know that more and more foreign pilots are joining up. Rumor has it that there soon will be a couple of all-Polish squadrons operational.

Secondly, we've had a couple of pretty peaceful days now. Jerry is obviously catching his breath now, content with sending over the usual swarms of fast recce aircraft.

And today has been another quiet day, again with just some German reconnaissances active along the East, South and South West Coasts, where they also attacked some isolated objectives. Pinpricks really.

But now this evening something a bit bigger is obviously on the move.

								*************
MISSION
A steady stream of enemy aircraft is coming from Holland and Le Havre. Some are them are obviously aiming for the Estuary, and perhaps even London.

A number of squadrons have been scrambled to meet them, including us.

As always, the bombers are a priority, but if there are Hurricanes around, let them deal with the twin-engined machines, while we attack the fighters.

Hurry up! We are losing the light.

								*************

You'll be flying as second element of B section
