Pavel: The Germans recorded nothing and the 311 Sqn crew were vague and never reported it to Coastal Command (in any case spotting an aircraft is different to combat with an aircraft). Confusing a Ju 290 and a Fw 190 is hard to do and in any case, there would have been one Ju 290 and two Fw 190s. Also, the Fw 190s did not take off until 1145 hrs, well after the 311 Sqn crew spotted an aircraft.
