  • RAF English Channel 1942


    South Coast Night Patrol

    As a veteran of the conflict you have been assigned to patrol the channel for enemy shipping and possible invasion forces. You must also keep the skies clear of enemy aircraft and maintain allied air superiority above the English Channel. Requires Spitfire Vb.


    Solent Skirmish

    The siren at Tangmere is alerting your squadron to a bomber formation heading across the Channel to the Southampton area. Visibility is bad and you are the only squadron available. Requires Spitfire Vb.


    Gunship Patrol

    Patrol the area south of the Isle of Wight. There have been some lightning gunboat attacks from across the channel, terrorising allied shipping. With the guidance of radar clear the area of enemy units. Requires Spitfire Vb.


    Get our Chaps

    You will escort mosquitos on a low level raid on the German occupied airfield on Guernsey. Once you've crippled their air defenses head for the French Coast where you will provide air cover for the pickup of our airmen. Requires Spitfire Vb.


    Brest Harbour

    The Atlantic convoys have been taking a pounding recently. Brest Harbour is the German base for Naval attacks in the North Atlantic, you might even catch the Gneisenau or Scharnhorst in dock. Escort the Mosquitos to Brest. Protect the bombers at all costs and be wary of attacks from Cherbourg on your way back. Requires Spitfire Vb.


    Defending Bristol

    Bristol was thought to be too far for enemy bomber attacks. A squadron of Ju88s have been spotted at about 10,000 feet heading North for Bristol. Attack the enemy bombers and ensure that none return to base. It is estimated that around eight Bf109 fighters will be in support. Requires Spitfire Vb.


    Carentan Bridge Raid

    Cut the supply line to Cherbourg by destroying the rail and road bridges in Carentan. Azeville airbase is to the north of the town which would also make a good target. But beware Azeville could have some fighter squadrons on standby so don't linger. Requires Spitfire Vb.


    Sub Pack off Swansea

    There have been alot of ships lost in the Irish sea recently. The two depth charged U-boats which have surfaced off the coast near swansea do not explain the extent of the damage. Finish them off then patrol the area for enemy ships and protect allied vessels. There have been unconfirmed reports of aircraft attacks, so be wary.
