[CENTURION]

Hi,
in my opinion, the Hurricanes were engaged in combat with 8 Mc202s of the 10th Gruppo Caccia (4th Stormo) who claimed 5 P40s at about 10:10 (British time) 10 Km E of Acroma (source: "Quelli del cavallino rampante - Storia del 4° stormo caccia". Antonio Duma).
Indeed, according to Shores, 12 Hurricanes of 73 Squadron took off at 9:30 for a sweep over Gazala - Acroma area.
The four Me109s of III/JG53 probably engaged 10 P40s of 260 Squadron and 8 P40s of 5 SAAF Squadron who took off at 10:30 for a bomber escort to Knighsbridge. May Frost claimed a Me109 probable and one P40 was damaged.
This would be confirmed by the fact that, according to Prien, the Me109s of III/JG53 encoutered a formation of 12 Bostons escorted by 15/20 fighters in the morning.
Best regards.
Marco
