Mirek,

Unfortunately, surviving records do not allow a positive correlation between a specific Lw claim & the loss of F/O Wojciech Januszewicz of No.303 Squadron on 5 October 1940. It was busy over Kent that morning & the fighting was intense & confused. In addition, not all German claims filed have times recorded. The best that can be said is that No.1 (RCAF) & No.303 Squadron were operating together & engaged 109s south of Canterbury around 11.40 hours with combats spilling south to the English Channel. Elements of II./JG53 were in combat with Hurricanes in the area at that time. In addition, a claim for a 109 thought to be downed on land near Hawkinge as filed by F/O Beverley CHRISTMAS of No.1 (RCAF) may also refer to the crash at Stowting but this is speculation on my part.
