ZG 26 did not operate over Hampshire/Dorset until September 1940. There were quite a number of Bf 110s lost that day-5./ZG 2 lost one into the Channel but it was II & III./ZG 76 that lost the most. II./ZG 76 lost five of which four came down on land in the Solent area. Further west, III./ZG 76 lost four, all of which came down in the sea off Portland/Weymouth. Dundas made no claims that day and Ostazewski shared a Bf 110 of 6./ZG 76 with Zurakowski of 234 Sqn and which crashed on the Isle of Wight. 609's claims were against II/ZG 76 but of the III/ZG 76 losses, 7 crew were killed and one captured but no precise locations exist
