Over the English Channel

England/France (TimeLine A)

Flying Officer Jock Wilber watched his scopes as the flight of two Eurofighters patrolled the English Channel, watching for German – Nazi – encroachment upon Britain. The RAF – indeed, every part of the British armed forces – wanted revenge for Cambridge, and at the same time they knew just how dangerous flying near Nazi-held territory could be. So the RAF, and the elements of the French air force that had flown to Britain, kept well away from Nazi territory, watching and waiting…

“Eagle-one, this is Charlie-one,” the AWACS operator said. “We have five aircraft on the scopes; heading towards you.”

“Roger,” Wilber said, checking the download from the AWACS. The satellites were still pretty flaky – and so were many American news stations – but the RAF had managed to improvise. “More French aircraft?”

“It’s possible,” the AWACS said. “However, they rose from an airfield that is definitely under Nazi control.”

Wilber felt a flicker of real interest…and alarm. If the aircraft were rising from that section of France, then they might just be Nazi aircraft. The final transmissions from Israel had warned that they existed, but so far no one in the west had seen them.

“Requesting permission to close in and engage,” he said. “We could take a proper look at them.”

There was a pause. “You may get your chance sooner than you expect,” the AWACS said. “They’re coming this way; speed mach one and rising.”

Wilber felt his tension levels rise and controlled his breathing, watching his scopes. It would be minutes before they could make contact, and he didn’t want to be caught at a disadvantage. “Scatter,” he ordered, watching as his wingman flew in the other direction, splitting up from him. “Charlie-one, I request permission to investigate.”

“Granted,” the AWACS said. “Be aware; aircraft are scrambling from RAF Coningsby to assist you.”

“We don’t need no assistance,” Wilber snapped. “Moving in…now!”

He grabbed the stick, swinging the Eurofighter around, heading directly towards the contact. He glanced down at his scope again and cursed; the enemy aircraft was closing in on him, fast.
