QM sgt Speedy77 formed up with 19 Squadron's newest recruit Lnc Corp Jougal for a sortie from Heist AF to CAP the Aalter area. After climbing west from Heist to gain alt, they turned SE to head to the target area. All was quiet over the Aalter area, so they headed N towards Knokke to investigate reports of vulching EA. Sure enough, they encountered a group of 5 EA to the SE of Knokke at 10K. With no thoughts of self preservation, Jougal headed straight for the nearest 109 and Speedy77 followed on his wing. A protracted dogfight then ensued with a well organized Jerry squad, who used 109s to keep them occupied while the 190 attempted to BnZ. In the melee both pilots scored numerous hits and all the EA were trailing white smoke. After taking down a 109, his first kill for the 19th!, Lnc Corp Jougal took a critical hit from another 109 and was down. QM sqt Speedy77 jumped on the pesky 109 and scored numerous hits in the cockpit area, then weight of numbers forced him to disengage and RTB claiming 1 kill.

For the next sortie, the welcome sight of Lt Dezey striding to his Spit breathed hope of revenge into the 19th. The flight took off from Heist climbing to the W to gain alt. However, Fritz had returned in greater numbers and were now over the AF and, unbeknown to them, an EDD was positioning itself to shell the AF. Not far from the AF a 190 bounced the flight and Lt Dezey was forced to evade. More EA descended and the flight was broken up into individual combats near the AF and coastline. Speedy77 took on a 109, and watched with delight as it spiraled into the murky depths of the sea. He then turned further out to sea to join up with his flight who were still engaged with EA. Lnc Corp Jougal called "Dezey 666!" and reported seeing pieces fly off Dezey's spit. Lt Dezey, renowned for his technical prowess, said his plane felt "funny". Speedy77 was still climbing to meet them, and was hit in the torso by a shot from a 190, and would not make it back to the mess for a pint of ale that night. Shortly after Lnc Corp Jougal was hit in the head by a lucky shot from the EDD, and was down. Lt Dezey, fought his "funny" feeling spit back to the AF and landed. No mean feat with half a rudder!
