Turn 5 is in. I'm feeling like Scarecrow after that exchange, John.

Turn 5 in
darn flying Monkey tossing their Crap at me again.
Battle Amongst the Clouds Turn 5
Phase 1
Camelbeagle turns sharp left circling around malachi, also turning left.
Watching malachi, camelbeagle doesn’t see Baz shoot the gap between the clouds and feels his Dolphin shudder as rounds thunk into it.
Baz pulls his trigger not knowing that zenlizard is centimeters off his tail!
Camel crew, off minding his own business in the corner gets plunked by Sherlochnumber1 at long range.
Phase 1 final position.
Stumptonian disappears into the cloud under Sherlochnumber1. (who isn’t actually there!)
Ignore Sherlochnumber1 as I had turned him the wrong direction. Corrected it the previous photo.
Phase 2
Baz goes straight but camelbeagle vanishes into the white mist in front of him.
Zenlizard thinks it best to turn away from Baz.
Malachi slows and contemplates the cloud before him.
Flash Split-s’s but is out of range and a bit woozy to shoot at zenlizard.
Stumptonian misses an opportunity to blast flash as his eyes adjust from being in the cloud.
Marshallannes climbs and is out of range on stumptonian.
Sherlochnumber1 thinks, “Ah ha Watson, we have him now”! But camel crew deftly Immelmanns, gaining enough altitude to pull out of range.
Phase 2 final positions.
Crash A Lot has also vanished!
Phase 3
After losing camelbeagle in the mist Baz Immelmanns.
Flash turns after zenlizard but zenlizard stalls, slowing enough for flash to fly under him.
Stumptonian stalls to his left, avoiding Marshallannes by dipping below him.
Phase 3 final positions.
Crash A Lot remains unseen and oblivious to the action around him.
Camelbeagle gets free of the cloud but not where he expected.
Score at the moment is British 5, Germans 5
Turn 6 turned in!
Just what is everyone doing while they're in those clouds? The Hokey-Pokey?

"Come around tomorrow night, Crapgame, and we'll show you......."
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Six up !

Turn 6 going in, it seems to be taking its time
Only 1 to go.
Battle Amongst the Clouds – Turn 6
Phase 1
Shelochnumber1 turns to give chase to camel crew.
Crash A Lot pokes out of his cloud as bullets fly like there’s no tomorrow.
Malachi and Marshallannes trade blasts. Baz takes a free shot at Marshallannes who is focused on malachi.
To his chagrin, Marshallannes’ Camel bursts into flames.
Phase 1 final positions.
Flash tries to latch on to zenlizard but the Flying Razor vanishes into the cloud wall.
Camelbeagle turns sharply trying to get back into the fray.
Phase 2.
Zenlizard had hoped to climb but exits the cloud with a surprise wide side slip.
Lucky for him flash had given up on him and had turned away.
Stumptonian turns through the gap directly beneath Baz.
Marshallannes and malachi pass closely by each other but the flaming camel does not distrace malashi and he sends some rounds into the surprised Crash A Lot.
Crash A Lot’s Camel trails thick black smoke.
Camel crew reverses right into Sherlochnumber1 to trade shots. Despite having a height advantage, camel crew takes a bullet.
Phase 2 final positions.
Phase 3.
Stumptonian turns onto the unsuspecting flash and peppers the Dolphin.
Marshallannes climbs, trying to shake off the flames.
Crash A Lot dives away from malachi.
Camel crew and Sherlochnumber1 pass by each other. Sherlochnumber1 is puzzled where the drop of blood on his wind screen come from?
Zenlizard peers into the nothingness beyond the board.
Phase 3 final positions.
Baz and camelbeagle have disappeared into different clouds.

I hope that smoke is stinging your eyes, John.

Voilà le soleil d'Austerlitz!

Battle Amongst the Clouds Turn 7
Phase 1
Zenlizard didn’t like what he saw beyond the board edge and turns hard to avoid flying ouit there.
Sherlochnumber1 and malachi fly warily towards each other. (just out of range ~3mm.)
Camelbeagle pops out of a cloud only to see off to his right Marshallannes stalling while burning brightly.
Stumptonian watches flash vanish into the cloud.
Phase 1 final position. Where is Crash A Lot?
Phase 2
Marshallanes starts his power dive, trying to put out his fire.
Flash emerges on the opposite side of the cloud from Stumptonian.
Zenlizard puts some distance between him and the void.
Malachi turns and flies meters over Sherlochnumber1.
Baz’s eyes can’t adjust fast enough coming out of the cloud and a great opportunity to shoot Sherlochnumber1 is missed.
Camel crew Split-S’s and wonders where Sherlochnumber1 went.
Camelbeagle again disappears into a new cloud. I think he’s trying to hit them all.
Phase 2 final position. Where is Crash A Lot?
Phase 3
Marshallanes power dive has the flames fluttering madly.
As he levels off the fire sputters out! The maneuver is a success.
Sherlochnumber1 and malachi part but are still very close.
Baz now turns left over the cloud leaving malachi to deal with Sherlochnumber1.
Camelbeagle pops out of the clouds, again!
Crash A Lot finally find his way out of his cloud and he takes a moment to get his bearings. Down below he sees Marshallanes with a trail of smoke fading behind him.
Flash turns to reposition. In the distance he spots a couple of planes between the clouds but can’t tell who they are.
Stumptonian trades places with zenlizard and looks into the beyond.
Phase 3 final positions.
Turn 8 submitted.
Hoping I didn't fall of the edge.
Turn 8 in!

Where did he go, I'd lined him up perfectly

Hold up, there appears to be a problem. Sending a note to Teaticket now.
Final postion will be done again as I fu*ked up. Hold off on making a move. Zenlizard is not in a cloud.
Hmmmm, someone may be very happy or sad I fixed this turn ending!

Ok, turn 8 has been corrected. I do not take full responsibility! Someone added way too much information in the plot and subliminally gave me the erroneous move plot I did.
It is safe to plot turn 9 now.
Score after turn 8 Germans 13, British 9
Nine in !
Sapiens qui vigilat... "He is wise who watches"
Turn 9 in!
Turn 9 submitted.
