General Report

On defensive patrol around Veghel we encountered a squadron of Fw-190s and a few Me-109s and engaged. I avoided fire from 2 Me-109s but lost radio contact with F/Lt 'Riksen' Richards and was hit from behind entering a flat spin. I bailed just over the river near Weeze and luckily avoided ground patrols and made it back to Volkel airfield managing to pick up a transport back to Woensdrecht.
