485 Squadron - Collision 28 June 1941

I have a note of a collision between two aircraft of 485 Squadron over French coast on 28 June 1941. Both aircraft returned safely and landed at West Malling.

I can find nothing on this incident in the Squadron ORB and have not (yet) traced any damaged aircraft that may tie up.

Can anyone throw any light?

AHB might have an accident card?

P7916 (OU-R) flown by P/O Dickie Barret collided with P7697 (OU-B) flown by P/O Charles Stewart on sweep to Calais-St. Omer. Both returned safely to base.

Obviously only mentioned in Stewart's log.
