Gunner?: Flak coming awful close!
Unknown: ??
Flight Engineer: Heading 100.
Navigator: Twenty one, fifty four and get out of this lot as best we can.
Pilot: (labored) OK.

Navigator: Ahh! Flak directly beneath us...
Unknown: Right.
Navigator: ...and searchlights underneath us too.
Pilot: Come on, T-for-Tommy. Get cracking!

Pilot: I'm watching everything!
Navigator: OK.
Flight Engineer: How many searchlights would you call them?
Unknown: Too many, I reckon.
Flight Engineer: A couple of thousand.
Pilot: Yeah, they're searching for us. You bastards! ...oh Hell...

Pilot: OK
Flight Engineer: Flak's close... (or flaps closed)
Unknown: Well, it's coming close, I can feel it.
Pilot: Yes, I can see it!
(muffled rumbles of flak bursts)
Flight Engineer: Round to port a bit this heading, Skipper.
Pilot: OK.
Navigator: If we press on a bit this way, we might get out.
Flight Engineer: Yep.
Navigator: My God!
Flight Engineer: You could light your fag on any of those.
Bomb Aimer: Steady up a bit.
(Sound of shrapnel hitting aircraft)
Bomb Aimer: Ohh!
Pilot: That was a bit close.
Pilot: Yeah...
Navigator: I think we've been hit, personally...
Pilot: We have...
Navigator: Yeah.
Flight Engineer: Lose a bit of height, Skipper.
Pilot: Yeah.
Bomb Aimer: That was close.
Pilot: Yes.
Navigator: Searchlights looking for us now.
Pilot: OK...I'm pressing on more or less on course.
Navigator: Righty Ho.
Navigator: It's gone out now.
Navigator: We...we better press on north until we're clear of this issue!
Pilot: Yeah, that's what I'm doing.
Bomb Aimer: Ah...hello, Skipper.
Pilot: Hello.
Bomb Aimer: We've been holed in the front here...
Pilot: OK.
Bomb Aimer: ...the...ahh...oil's leaking out of the front turret, still it's nothing to worry about.
Pilot: OK.
Flight Engineer: OK, Warren. Ah...Duncy, could you glance over the temperatures? On the engines?
Navigator: Could I what...?
Flight Engineer: ...glance over the temperatures.
Pilot: Look then, Duncy...umm...I've been weaving on your course. I shall be heading a little...to the east.
Navigator: OK, I'll give you a course to steer if you reckon you'll go through it.
Pilot: Yeah...it's...ahh...
Navigator: OK, right.
Pilot: Only there's a few searchlights ahead, about a hundred.
Navigator: Yeah.
Navigator: By God, I've never seen anything like this before!
Pilot: Neither have I.

Pilot: Oh, Good show.
Navigator: Ahhh, that's not one at all!
Unknown: Yes, it's not a bad prang.
