...as a good time because they were moving and we had all the...we seemed to have full force. Lots of air planes, you know. The whole thing sort of turned around eh. Yeah, we had three wings of Kittyhawks and several of Hurricanes and there was the bombers. Many light bomber squadrons. And we even had some heavy bombers that were flying on a Palestine, and some night fighters, night bombers. It looked like we were in command. This is the first time I felt that we were in a war. We weren’t just running away. First time. And they were on the run. At one period, when the Alamein broke and they headed back, we had some bad weather otherwise, they could probably have wiped them all out before they got to Tubruq. But once they got scattered up there, they were also experienced desert fighters, too, with Rommel and they had to leave a lot of things, but they made it hard for us.
