Hope I'm not too late!
How common was it to be fired up/engaged by enemy aircraft? Was there a clear change in that rate during different years/campaigns? Was AA fire more of a concern than other aircraft in a bomber? When out on missions, were you in large groups?

Long story short, I'm really interested in hearing details about aspects of combat in a bomber. Really anything you're willing to share is very much welcome!

I've seen several "peaceful" protests where people are facing off with cops who are politely and consistently giving them instructions to disperse. Protestors are throwing objects, shouting death threats and offensive statements, rushing cop lines, and blatantly displaying very threatening behavior that would any other time have them arrested. When police finally do forcibly disperse the crowd, they're treated like they're the bad guys. Does it bother you that most media sources are stating there is no violence, even as journalists are attacked by protestors? I understand you were hit by a rubber bullet. While I haven't seen what you were wearing, every journalist I've seen is plain clothed to blend in with protestors. How did you distinguish yourself from the crowd? Is there a reason you were in the middle of the protestors instead of behind the police line? And does that alter your view on why you were shot?

Thank you.
