Good afternoon,

Here is the final mission for the BEF timeline campaign, which is 22 missions in length...

"title_string"=Battle of France (RAF) - Spitfires caught Swordfishing
"summary_string"=Attention, chaps! Fairey Swordfish are being sent out to hit Gravelines, and they will need all of the help we can provide. You will assist the effort by lending top cover for their mission, and help their escort shield 'em from any interception by German fighters. With Bomber Command taking high losses, we must try to protect the ranks of the Naval Air Service as well! Let's give it our best on this one!
"objective_string"=On the afternoon of 25 May, three RAF Spitfires of 54 Sqn were shot down & another was damaged by Bf-109s and Bf-110s of I/JG 26 and I/ZG 76. These Spitfires were escorting Swordfish of 825 Sqn NAS to strike Gravelines. The slowness of the Swordfish put the Spitfires at a big disadvantage, and they were badly mauled as a consequence. It is not known if any Swordfish were attacked, but no losses were reported. The Spitfires did manage to shoot down a Bf-109 and a Bf-110 in exchange for their losses.
"intelligence_string"=After takeoff, you will climb over the Estuary and turn for the Kentish coast, passing near Hawkinge on your way out to sea. Because the Swordfish is so slow, you will rendezvous with 'em as you near the French coast. You will fly top cover for them, while Red and Blue sections provide close escort. Your task is to assist the escort fend off attacks on the highly vulnerable Swordfish. Anything that you can do to draw German fighters off will help. Once their raid is complete, they will retire to the coast, crossing Calais, and then turn northwest. This may be a rocky mission, so we will need your best efforts on this one!
