August 11th, 1940. Biggin Hill

MISSION
There is a convoy, code name "Booty" off Harwich. Our Chain Home Radio Direction Finding facilities (I will tell you more about those another day) have picked up what appears to be a sizeable enemy force going towards it.

We, together with four other squadrons, are sent due east to meet the attackers.

Any questions? No? Well then, let's get cracking!

HISTORIC NOTES
Regarding the previous mission on August 11: there was very considerable activity during the day, the main features of which were a heavy attack on Portland at 1030 hours, four attacks on the Dover Balloon Barrage between 0730 and 1210 hours and attacks by large formations on convoys in the Thames Estuary and off East Anglia at about 1130 hours.

Sixteen squadrons were in action (some as many as four times) and shot down 32 (plus 46 unconfirmed) enemy aircraft while AA guns shot down a further 5 (plus one unconfirmed). In addition, a further 28 enemy aircraft are reported damaged. RAF losses were 25 aircraft (20 pilots missing and 2 killed).
