Interesting - older lists give his 118th as a Spitfire on 7th January 1943 at 1145am. 7km SW of Sirte airfield @ 6-7000m, which corresponds to 92 sqn. ER279 of F/S T R Broomhall MIA and serial unknown Sgt. H Patterson (baled out). That would be a slight overclaim as Burkhardt and Reinert also claimed ( = 3 claims, but only two losses...)
