Flying CAP over Normandy with 4 Spit14e.
Spotted a single aircraft over the channel co-altitude about 5k distant. Turned flight towards visual to ident.
The single also turned head on towards us. Target was identified as a single P51 on patrol. I watched it close on us and it made a near pass to starboard at speed. My guess was the AI was also attempting to ident us.
However, the P51 clipped the wings of my Spt wingman and both spiraled as pilots ejected.
Interesting!
