It looks like you didn't get "Honour" because:
1) Your observer still had a gun.
2) The Honour system simply doesn't take into account situations (like this) where it does make good sense to get out of the fight.
yes, but what could I do ?
no gun, no observer, I *must* retire...
and in a League, in this case I lose a lot of points...
I don't think that's correct

Well, what is correct and how things work are, as here, often quite different. I would argue that it isn't "correct" that someone can win a game if they died in the fight. I just lost a game by shooting down my last opponent. Unfortunately, for me, he had more points at the end. In the real world, the one who came home ... won.
I agree with you, that there was nothing else you could reasonably do. Flying around waiting to be shot down would be stupid. But the rules are set up to penalize that sort of behavior.
Personally, I think too much emphasis is placed on individual action (i.e., shooting the enemy), and not enough on scenario outcomes and in-game death.
