Having done a lot of research and looked the the gun camera film a 1000 times and a comprehensive Db we are convinced that the victims were from JG 53. 3 crashed and the other three were written off.

on 18 July he actually claimed Ju88s but a careful look at the gun camera film shows that they were Me 410s.
