Circus 81

Hello to everyone

Could you correct my informations regarding Circus 81 called also "Leg Operation"? According to my sources following squadrons were engaged: 41, 610, 306, 308, 315,616, 452, 485, 403, 603, 611, 72, 92 and 609 - all flying Spitfires plus 18th bomber sqn flying Blenheims. Especially the last one was flying double mission - Bader's leg delivery over St Omer and Gosnay bombardment after. Something is telling me that there was another fighter squadron involved...but no idea which one.
Thanks a lot.
