<S> to 327th Steel Talons and 801 Sqn Faa at A48

 Well done gents on the fighter sweep to A48. The disruption of CAP over A48 allowed all bombers to reach the
target, drop ord and rtb with only the loss of a few drones(most to base ack). All bomber pilots landed safely
and i made three passes over the Field and never saw an enemy fighter. That's about as rare as the odds of meeting an honest politician. Well done. :salute

I thought the soup was going to hit the fan when the 2 110s starting tailing us 3 sectors from the target. Nothing materialized and the only enemy I saw were flying high cap and you guys and the Steel Talons took care of that.
