Re: Air battle of 23 November 1940 over Kent
Well 40-45 minutes over Kent seems to me to be a long time for G50 or Bf 109s, especially if the latter were based in Netherlands and probably flying at combat speed in an hostile environment.
So possibly Bob flew a sweep with III./JG 54 around 1300 hrs British time and saw in the distance the fight between the CR 42s and 603 Sqn, while II./JG 54 flew a latter sweep that met 74, 92 and 253 Sqn.
What is sure is that even after III./JG 54 moved to Netherlands, it was still operating over Kent, as Oblt Bob score two victories in the area during this period (on 27 October and 11 November).
