Earl,
You are one of this game and community's finest examples of fair play, and gentlemanly manner. My deepest sympathies for your loss sir. I can say this as a member of Duxford who was escorting that night we had no intentions of engaging, when it happened to be that some fighters were attacking we drove them off. Those that did not fire were not fired upon and a few were allowed to pass through the group. As a show of respect after the mission because of the actions of both sides Duxford stood down for the evening and we all logged. Stuff happens and mistakes were made on both sides and we can sit and point fingers all we want. To sit and accuse a man who has never in the time I have played this game with him has done nothing unfair sneaky or cowardly is just way off. Let it go chalk it up to a learning experience and move on. Earl once again I think I speak for all of the guys in Duxford Wing when I say we are truly saddened by the loss of your wife and our deepest sympathies go out to you. We look forward to continued cooperation with you and your fine outfit and Duxford will always stand ready to escort your bombers anywhere and at anytime!!
