Adriano,

This is from an earlier thread on this topic:
The information From A Clasp For ‘the Few’ by Kenneth G. Wynn and Those Other Eagles by Christopher Shores differs in some points.
13 May 1940
From A Clasp For ‘the Few’:
E.H, Hargill was attached to 235 Sqn from 248 Sqn. "He flew his first operation on the 13th and whilst escorting gun boats in the Zuider Zee the formation was attacked by a force of Me 110s and Ju 88s. After a short brush with the enemy aircraft the Blenheims were able to escape into cloud, being badly outnumbered. All returned safely and one enemy machine was claimed as destroyed."
According to Those Other Eagles McHardy (flying Blenheim lVf L9450) was one of four that shared a damaged Ju 88 or Bf 110. The other crewmembers were P/O J. Morris and LAC E.A. Ringwood.

I don't have copies of the ORB's etc, but I suppose that's where this is based upon.
If indeed one of the Blenheims returned with 47 bullet holes, then a Bf110 (from I. or II./ZG1) is most likely. I admit, pure speculation but closest to the truth until proven wrong.

Regards, Pieter
