Air Vice Marshal Keith Park:
Looks like London again, sir. Air Chief Marshall Sir Hugh Dowding:
Yes. Air Vice Marshal Keith Park:
And there's nothing we can do about it. Air Chief Marshall Sir Hugh Dowding:
But if Goering should - concentrate on London by day - it's another matter. Air Vice Marshal Keith Park:
If it means he leaves my airfields alone, I shan't complain. Even a few days would give me the chance to get back to full strength. Air Chief Marshall Sir Hugh Dowding:
He'll have farther to come. Air Vice Marshal Keith Park:
And to go back. We'll have more time to intercept. Air Chief Marshall Sir Hugh Dowding:
What's more important, Park, his fighters have only fuel enough for ten minutes over London. His bombers will lose much of their protection. For the first time, they'll all come within the range of 12 Group. Perhaps now, at last, we shall see what Leigh-Mallory's Big Wings are made of. Turning on London - could be the Germans' biggest blunder
