Shortly after crossing the coast a ME-110 came sneaking in from behind and hammered the tail pretty good. One of his hits caused an O2 fire in my turret, I got it out in one try and let the skipper know what was going on as he took the ship under 10,000. That dive caused him to lose us. Later on we picked up one of his mates but he missed and on his second pass our mid upper got some good hits on him to cause him to break off. Over the target the weather was lousy but we were picked up by another ME-110 this one made 2 passes and caused S/F damage to the waist and SW. But he hammered the crap out of the starboard rudder, don't know how he missed my turret. No joy on the bomb run and we made the turn and headed for home. Being low every Jerry that had a gun tried a shot at us, but missed. Skipper managed to bring us in with no problems, though Chiefy wont be pleased.
