Tall Ho LRDG !

 

The troop look for a break in the German perimeter fence.

 

They are through and racing for the parked aircraft but a German mortar unit spots an LRDG vehicle.

 

The CO gets to the farthest plane without being spotted.

 

Two LRDG vehicles have now been spotted

 

The CO's jeep makes a nice bonfire out of their plane.

 

As No.2 gets to the other plane.

 

Kaboom !  2nd plane is destroyed as Afrika Korps infantry open fire from the roof top.

 

A German tank hits one of the vehicles and the crew are killed.

 

German motor cycle combis are sent off in pusuit.

 

Two vehicles show a clean pair of heels as they head for the gap.

 

The CO's parting MG shots hit the unit on the roof top.

 

So for the loss of one Chevrolet & crew the LRDG managed to destroy 2 Luftwaffe fighters, a mortar team and a few infantry - a good night's work !
