Re: F/O A.J.O. Jeffrey 2 He115s 19 July 1940

This is a translated extract from the book "Les Hydravions de la Luftwaffe, volume 2", by Jean-Louis Roba and Hans-Werner Neulen (ISBN 978-2-914017-55-8), page 333:

"On 19 July 1940 a formation of nine Spitfires of 64 Sqn flying an offensive patrol intercepted a group of He 115s laying mines under escort by Bf 109s. Two floatplanes were claimed shot down, but only one of 3./106 was actually shot down."

Note that the unit here is given as 3./106, not 3./906, but I don't know which source is correct.
