The ORB has this definitely on the 20th at about 2200 30-40m East of Yarmouth. Mercer claimed 3 or 4 cannon strikes on the Do217

There was an inconclusive combat at 2140 on the 27th between Brunet and Musgrave and a Ju88 100 miles East of Yarmouth. Both pilots fired short bursts at extreme range and neither claimed to have done any damage.
