I have around 42 kills for NJG 2 December 1941 to July 1942 and then 18 January to Jun 43 so more than you think

Considering that the Ju 88s from I./NJG 2 were without radar, the aircraft they shot down were most likely Wellington, Halifax and B-24 bombers carrying out night raids.

Mainly Wellington, Beaufighter and Blenheim in initial period. No Halifaxes and two Liberators. Don’t forget they also operated in daylight in bad weather and on convoy escort
