Hello Andréas.

Thank you very much for your interesting answer

In losses this is given SE+S4 (i.e. Ju 88 A-5 0738 S4+SH of 1./KfGr 506 (!?))

possibly downed by RAF fighters of 257 SQ at 08:30 hrs off East Anglia and ditching in the North Sea (ref: "Air War 1941" by John Foreman)

Thank you edNorth for additional infos...

It seems there is no victory for 257 Sqn this day ? ? ?

Ah, maybe some mixup somewhere? It happens. Maybe some UK member has better answer re 257 SQ.

I can find no mention of a 257 Sqn claim but can a 222 sqn claim for a Ju 88 damaged at 0815 hrs

Thanks Chris, only troble is that I can not double check, as that book I quoted is out of reach at the moment.

Thank you for all.

In fact I look for to coroborate a victory of Jean Demozay (1 Sqn.)

In his Combat Report he met Ju 88 and Me 110 and even Bf 109 somewhere in the Channel between north of Dunkirk and the Goodwins. He got a 110 at 16.30 and in the end of his CR he said:
"I used my cine gun before, during and after the combat. Weather over the sea 10/10 could at 130000ft clear below.

Interesting no?

Nice day for all.
