A Luftwaffe Loss??

Hi All,

Over recent years I have been trying to line up a claim in an RAF combat report with a possible Luftwaffe loss. Unfortunately, there seems to be a gap in the records I have accessed around the date concerned.

The RAF pilot saw his shots landing but the German aircraft (I suspect a Bf109 despite the report denoting an 'He113') rolled over and into a cloud bank, so he never really knew the outcome of the engagement.

The combat took place 5 miles from Calais on 23JUN40 at 1600hrs.

Given the broad range of expertise in this forum, I thought I might throw this one open for feedback. I'd appreciate any advice or direction on this one.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Owen
