The RAF claimed two Bf 109s damaged, one destroyed and one probable. Edelmann was reported as being damaged by return fire attacking Lancasters later that day. The likely unit they met was III./JG 2 who claimed 2 Spitfires but suffered no losses. Looks like over-optimism again for both sides. I have a 501 Sqn photo from this time which shows all the pilots mentioned on 17 April 1942 apart from Drossaert unless he is the only one unidentified in the photo
