Without ploughing through all the posts, do you have the episode on 14 September 1940 when 73 Squadron were attacked by Spitfires? I suspect it may have been 222 Sqn, although am not clear if the Hurricanes engaged the Spitfires??

On the subject of 222 Squadron, I see that Sgt P O Davis attacked a "Dornier 17 Z" ten miles off the coast at Dunkirk on 16 July 1941 which he noted as follows: "Camouflage was brown and green with circles on top of the wing. Green 2 recognised this as a hostile type...." He claimed it as damaged. His description of markings makes one wonder what it was!

Many congrats on V1 book, by the way.
