Horrido!
The timing and the route we took were the deciding factors.
Coming in from the east was bad for tgt lines, so we took a south to north run. However, the RAF was using those bases just north of the tgt port and heading south to grab and then back north to hit the mass gaggle.
Apparently, RAF was launching in waves and we just happened to be spotted by one during our pop-up about 6 or 7 miles from the tgt, but on a st line from an RAF runway. Oh well. A few minutes later would have been better, but getting there early was worse.
Dew, Gums and Doc almost made it out to the east, as that 88 is fast. So we had a long tail chase and only two or three Spits ran us down. We made them work for it.
