Hi Steve

The action was actually with seven Fulmars of 807 and 808 Squadrons up from Ark Royal, which was escorting the Operation Tiger convoy. The Fulmars engaged Ju87s of I/StG1, only to be jumped by the Bf110s.

No Fulmars were lost although three were hit, one by a Ju87 gunner. Three were claimed, two by Hptm Steinberger and one by Oblt Bergfleth. As you say, Hufnagel and his gunner were both wounded and crash-landed at Comiso, a second badly damaged machine crash-landing at Trapani, while a third suffered minor damage. Two of the 110s were claimed hit by PO(A) Dick Leggott and Sub Lt R.F. Walker. Two Ju87s, a probable and a damaged were also claimed by the Fulmars, of which at least one was badly damaged with both crew wounded.

Hope that helps.
Cheers
Brian
