Circus 87 claims 26.08.1941

Hello

There is some discrepancy concerning the total of FC claims on the mission in question

Old T.Wood lists have 3 destroyed (one 603, two 452), one probable (603) and two damaged (603). F540 of 452 Sqn and squadron's Intel report seems to support this, saying two Me 109 E's were claimed as destroyed.
On the other hand F541 of 452 Sqn says the claims were two Me 109 E's as probables, which in turn supported by BCIR No.186, which says the total for Circus 87 was 1-2-3

It is unclear if the claims were upgraded or downgraded. What was final "official" number of claims for Circus 87?
