266 were based at Eastchurch on 13th and 14th Aug - Eastchurch (according to the F540 - 266 ORB) was strafed and bombed on 13th. A Spitfire was damaged in tone of the hangers this day.

14th 266 moved to Hornchurch.

15th Hornchurch with forward operating base Manston

N3245 was flying on 12th Aug - per F541 266 ORB

According to how I read the notes in Morgan and Shacklady's "Spitfire a History" N3245 was C2 damaged on 15.8.40. However, no mention in either F540 or F541.

However, BOBTaN records - believed damaged in strafing attack on Manston 12 pm by Bf 109Es.

Also of note there is no mention of anything in the ADGB Narrative for this date.
