From an earlier page of the same sitrep: one Spitfire was claimed off Portsmouth in an action between 25 Spitfires and 18 Bf 109.
My first attachment said that the second was claimed off Falmouth but a quick perusal of the rest of the sitrep doesn't say who was operating over Cornwall (apart from night attacks on St. Merryn and Land's End) and no claim is mentioned. Was Falmouth, a 400 km round trip from airfields in Brittany, within the Bf 109's practical radius of action? If not, we'd be looking at a claim by a Bf 110 or a bomber or reconnaissance gunner.
