TNA DocumentsOnline have Combat Report(s) for 604 Sqn dated 1 September 1940:
AIR 50/168
Sgt Shirley, S - Image reference 86/358, 3 pages
P/O F/Lt Speke including other dates - Image reference 87/359

I have not purchased this Combat report (for the moment it is enough for me to know that no air gunner from New Zealand was involved in the combat) and cannot confirm if any claim was made.

I have also noticed the absence of this claim in the 604 Sqn history. In general I have found large differences between differing sources for claims made by Blenheim squadrons in Fighter Command 1940.
