spitfire and Hurricane sqdns over Ostend 18.05.40

Hope someone might be able to help?

I’m trying to narrow down which Spitfire and Hurricane squadron(s) were on patrol over Ostend between 18:00 and 19.30 hours on Saturday May 18 1940.

My reason for making this enquiry is I now have three accounts (via diaries) of both types of aircraft firing upon two Blenheims’ of 235 Squadron PO. Robinson and Sgt. Bessy.

I appreciate that Robinson was shot down by a French fighter at 19.30, but also realize that it may not be possible to pin point which RAF fighter squadrons were in the area too.

Thank you in advance.

Best Wishes

Andy Bird
