He111 22/02/1940

Good afternoon,

On the morning of the 22nd of february 1940, No 1 Squadron P/O' s Mould, Shepherd and Mitchell flying from Rouvres where they had been detached ( Vassincourt airfield being unserviceable ) were on patrol between Grandpré and Triaucourt. Shepherd and Mitchell made home after having lost their leader. At 10h30 P/O Mould sighted an He111 at 19,000 feet 2 miles north-west of St-Ménéhould and attacked. Having run short of amunition he last saw the enemy flying north and diving steeply.
Has there been any He111 lost or damaged on this date wich could match with this action?

Many thanks.

Bernard.
