  • RAF Variant Rules #1.45 Mar 2014
    RAF Variant Rules #1.45 Mar 2014 By Simon D Blackwell Introduction These rules are the final updated and expanded version of my earlier submissions #1.0-#1.4. They now incorporate the Miles Master M.24 Emergency fighter, as well as a tweak to the stats of the Fw.200. Also included are all the previous new aircraft types and the hypothetical ones of which all either were or could have been seen over the skies of Sussex, Kent and the Thames estuary in 1940. I was prompted to write these rules after playing the original game a few times and dimly remembering a turret armed British fighter that had no forward firing machine guns. The fighter in question was the Boulton Paul Defiant of which 2 Sqns served in the Battle of Britain. Left out of the game I suspect owing to its combat record which can only be described as disastrous I decided for historical accuracy more than attempting to change the balance of the game to introduce these much maligned aircraft to the game. After a few plays my appetite was whetted sufficiently to research introducing other aircraft not featured in the original game. As the reader will note from the sheer number of new aircraft types listed below, this became a much larger project than originally envisaged but proved far more interesting and enjoyable. I also decided to keep from the original variant rules just 1 elite RAF Sqn as there is an alternative unit to choose from that has the same stats as the withdrawn unit (263 Sqn Whirlwind).

He was educated at Clivedon School Church Stretton, The Old Boys High School Shrewsbury and Prestfelde School Shrewsbury. BEric joined the Air Volunteer Reserve in February 1939 and with the outbreak of the Second World War, he became a full timed commissioned officer with the rank of Pilot Officer. In July 1940 Eric married Margaret Meyers (Peggy) at St. Julians Church, Shrewsbury. He was posted to 41 Squadron at RAF Catterick, North Yorkshire, in June 1940.

  • “A Ruddy Awful Waste”
    “A Ruddy Awful Waste” “A Ruddy Awful Waste” - so reads the entry in 611 Sqn ORB on 14 July 1941 In early 1939, 19-year-old Salopian Eric Lock joined the RAF Volunteer Reserve to fulfil his dream of flying. Within eighteen months, he was pitted against one of the largest air forces in the world, fighting for the survival of his homeland in a pivotal battle that, if lost, would change the course of world history. He was posted to his first operational unit, 41 Squadron, in late June 1940, just prior to the Battle of Britain. Lock became an Ace within four weeks of his first operational sortie. During September 1940, he even maintained a 100 per cent strike rate: one victory for every operational sortie flown. He was awarded a Distinguished Flying Cross in September 1940, a second in October, and a Distinguished Service Order in November. He claimed 20 confirmed victories during the Battle of Britain, and was the top-scoring RAF Ace of the campaign. Lock was seriously wounded in action in November 1940. Hit in three limbs by rounds fired from a German fighter, he spent the ensuing six months recuperating, and underwent three skin grafting operations performed by gifted plastic surgeon Sir Archibald McIndoe. He returned to front line operations with 611 Squadron in summer 1941, but sadly failed to return from a routine patrol to France just six weeks later. “A Ruddy Awful Waste” is the definitive account of the short life of this very brave young man, and cements his place as one of Britain's true national heroes.
