Re: Me 110 losses on 7 September 1940 - circumstances
Going back to the losses of Me 110s. As far as I was able to work out, based on published data and combat reports the situation was as follows. Anyone can fill any gap? What surprises me is the lack of any aircraft listed damaged, but making back to France.

1. Billericay 3M+BB - port eng on fire, then starboard, tail broke off in dive and then spun down, two baled out, PoW.
2. Herne Bay 3M+LL - gunner baled out, PoW.
3. Deal 3M+FL - both engines on fire (which first?), blew up, two baled out but killed.
II/ZG 2.
1. Hornchurch Stab A2+NH - stbd engine on fire, two baled out but killed.
2. Little Burstead 4 A2+BH - port engine on fire then stbd one, crew baled out? Both killed.
