Re: RAF Claims 27 Oct 40
Ooops, on checking the original report for Hogan, although Foreman, followed by Parry, state: 501 Sqn - S/L H.A.V.Hogan Bf109 prob.dest. - Redhill - 09.40.
Checking the cover page of his original report (AIR 50/162/26 p. 5) Hogan's claim is actually timed at 09.20 approx. location 5 miles SW of Kenley, and is for a 'Me 110 Jaguar (shared)'.
So this makes McKellar the likely candidate. The end of his report states:
"On my return Controller at Kenley asked me where this aircraft would have crashed. I informed him about 20 miles South of Croydon. He told me that that was where a Me109 had crashed at about the same time. I therefore feel justified in claiming a Me109 as destroyed by me."
