Fred,

The leader of the Harry Tates fires a Very light indicating "close up" and starts back for the lines; the jasta-boys keep their distance above and behind the formation; the leader of the kette dives down for a boom and zoom; he gets severely tickled by 4 x Lewis fire and never pulls out of that dive; his squadron mates think better of it, spot the formation of Camels in the distance and head for home.

Unlikely! you may think, but if you read the accounts of RE8's in combat it's amazing how often they could discourage casual/roaming attackers even when outnumbered.
