A friend of mine, Simon Herbert, writes historical fiction (Wings over Cairo) about Beaufighters in the desert, so I'll share this with him. Thanks very much!

Thanks for sharing.

That is a very interesting and detailed report.

Air attacks on naval vessels using 1/300th, or 1/600th scale minis can be great fun, at least for the aerial pilots. I suspect less so for the naval crews, unless they are very well armed, or sailing as a group.

For the Bay of Biscay, you can add in U-Boats as targets, and give them Ju-88Cs for top cover too, to try to keep the Mossies, Beaus, and other British aircraft away.

Lots of good scenario building material. Including intense AA fire from the "Guns of Navarino". Someone should make a movie.
