According to Foreman's book "The turning point, part 1", while the main German attack that night was against Swansea, St Eval was also raided and two Gladiators and a Hurricane were attacked in the circuit, one of the former belonging to 247 Sqn being slightly damaged (no serial given in book, pilot safe). The book say in the following sentence that a returning I./KG 28 crew submitted a claim for a nightfighter destroyed, but made no clear link between both events. It still seems to me to be probably the best option according to available data.

Regarding the claim by Flt Lr Willans of 23 Sqn written above by Martin, the same book identified it as the He 111H-5 nr 3613 of III./KG 26 that was attacked in the circuit of Poix-Bord, force-landed on the airfield airfield and was damaged beyond repair (at 60%) but without injury to the crew.

According to the book "The Battle of Britain then and now", the Luftwaffe dispatched that night 142 bombers, including 120 to Swansea. Of the latter, 88 reported having reached and bombed the target but none belonged to KG 28. Of the other 29 bombed alternative targets and 3 aborted without bombing. The source of this a Luftflotte 3 report.
The attack of St Eval is described with the same details than above, just adding that the 3 British fighters were attacked while landing.
Two more interesting details:
_ weather was bad and many German aircraft failed or had difficulties finding Swansea despite the use of X and Y-Verfahren.
_ the minor operations of the night include 3 Ju 87 bombing various targets in London area (British reported only one intruder over London).
