From my records, Busch's claim was 1450 hrs 23 Jul 40 north of Ostende not night of 22 Jul 40. This probably accords with the combat with P/53 Sqn off Ostende which returned slightly damaged. I have no KG 2 ac damaged between 20 and 24 Jul 40 (latter date was when 2 5/KG 2 ac were damaged by 64 Sqn (0900 hrs) and 65 Sqn (1230 hrs). Sorry, still nothing conclusive to challenge Peter's information. In any case, for a body to be washed ashore in Sussex having been shot down off Calais or Ostende is very unlikely
