True that KG 2 was operating over the West Country night of 25 Sep 42 but this mission would have been over 24 hours afterwards and in any case why use two heavy fighters from Lorient when there were many other Luftwaffe assets nearer the northern French coast? There was quite a bit of RAF ASR action on 27 Sep as day before as 133 Sqn had lost 11 Spitfires over or off Brittany. As to the claim off Bridport (not Bridgeport), I can see nothing that matches unless Matti can help. I can also confirm that 257 Sqn was responsible for wounding one of the 13./KG 40 gunners-the PlQ for the casualty is directly south of Start Point
