Friendly fire incident 1942 - 609 Typhoons & 91 Spitfires
 

I was wondering if anyone here could shed some more light on a friendly fire incident that took place on December 18th 1942 between some Typhoons of 609 Sqn and some Spitfires of 91 Sqn.
I know from the book `No 91 Nigeria Squadron' by Peter Hall, that Sgt Jack Chittick was flying Spitfitre VB EP508 and was shot down by the Typhoon's and that his wingman ( my great uncle ) managed to evade them.

I know this report covers the basics of what happened, but would there be any more info, would there have been any kind of inquiry ?
Many thanks for any help.
