[CENTURION]

Hello Adriano,

It seems that at about 19:20 noth of Beja, the Spitfires of the 111st Squadron, together with planes of the 72nd Squadron, engaged a formation of 23 FW190 of the III./SKG10 escorted by Me109s of the JG53. The German planes were returning from a bombing mission over the Souk el Arba airfield.
PO Kirkwood of the 111st Squadron claimed one Bf109 and Fl. Lt. Gale one probable; FO Hardy of the 72nd Squadron also claimed one probable.
One Spitfire was claimed (evidently FOW. K. Clarke) by Fw. Frankenberger of II/JG53. JG53 may have claimed another Spitfire, but I don't have any detail.
One FW190 of the III./SKG10 damaged by anti-aircraft fire, belly landed 10km south west of Mateur.


Regards
Marco
