Re: Plea for help from the Channel Islands
It can't have been right at the end of the war. There were no Bf 109s within range of the Channel Islands after about the third week of August 1944 because of the German collapse following the Allied breakout from Normandy. Luftwaffe fighters were withdrawn in great haste to (e.g.) bases in Belgium and Western Germany. Night time supply flights did continue to the islands until shortly before VE Day, mostly by He 111s.
Your combat must have been in 1944 at the latest.
