I believe both these 9s were hit by aircraft (and possibly by Archie as well).
The British report from the raid state 211 Sq was indeed harassed by at least five EA.

Metcalfe and Bradley were lucky to force land just behind their own lines.
B7604 had to be rebuilt and was given a new s/n F5847 one month later.

If there was any way possible to infer that an aircraft had been hit by AA-fire all sides immediately chose that option.
Still works today....

Cheers
Stig
