Yes he then flew home and landed, got out of the P51 and looked very pleased with himself. :doh:
Anyway just to update you: The next time I tried the mission I took bombs of my own just in case. This time however, even though the bombs he dropped were still visibly nowhere near the target, the building did explode and the next part triggered, so I was able to complete the mission. I'm not sure if the bombs landed any closer than last time or not, but I suppose other than visually it doesn't matter.
I have subsequently finished the campaign and liked it very much, thankyou.
Jeh
