I am unable to post to the 12 O'Clock high board at present (away from normal computer). I noticed the info request on 260/450. here is some addiotnal data, which I hope you can pass on
Flight that attacked the airfields consisted of 7 aircraft as below and took off at 1830hrs

Z4564 Sgt. Kilby
Z4375 P/O Hall
Z4254 Sgt. Paterson
Z4580 F/O McDougall (B Flight)
Z4706 Sgt. Hindle (B Flight)
The aircraft of B flight (which Wilmot was one of) were attacked by the D.520's. during another patrol and not part of the same formation above.
These aircraft were
