Claims on RAF side - 1Sqdn - 1 "Ju88" damaged (probably Beudel's Bf110), and 2 Bf109 destroyed. 32 Sqdn (not 17th, as I previously thought) - 1 Bf109 destroyed.
So, all those RAF fighters were not downed by Erpr.Gr.210...
THX friends!

And here we see why delving into claims is such a hazardous past-time. ZG 26 were serial overclaimers. And one of the No.1 Sqdn claims was ficticious. After contacting the pilot he told me so, and how his combat report was put together by the IO. He asked me never to make his name and the details public, and that's how it remains.
Take extreme care with claims, peoples!
