Like many Battles, it ended with both sides saying they had won :rolleyes: .
Ok, I have read Guy Gibson’s version of this great battle,
But has anyone else out there got some other view point’s from other chap’s involved at the time of this age-old rivals match :confused: .
The Bomber Baron’s versus the Fighter Glamour Boy’s 😉 .(did they ever run out of Brylcream :p )
Cheer’s all 😀 , Tally :dev2: Ho! :dev2: Ho! Phil :diablo: .

I have read Gibson’s account too but am not aware of anyone from the other squadron’s involved putting pen to paper and relating their side. I would be interested in learning if such an account does exist.
It was somewhat ironic that Gibson should end up flying for the ‘other side’, a short while later.
