Luftwaffe losses over the Channel 9 August 1941

I have always been surprised by the RAF claims on this date. They believe that eighteen enemy fighters were destroyed and at least the same number seriously damaged. However the two Luftwaffe fighter groups JG2 and JG26 suffered no such losses. My understanding is that these groups flew Bf109 with yellow spinners. However Neville Duke in his combat report of that day reports his enemies as having black/white spinners.
