French floatplane shot down January 1941??

Hi guys

A Fleet Air Arm pilot claimed a French floatplane shot down west of Sardinia sometime in January 1941.

Unlikely??

Cheers

No such loss recorded in the French archives.

No way!
This happened on 27 November 1940 and it was not a floatplane but a land-based Farman 223.4.
