Hi

French claims on 24/09/1940

GC I/4
A/C Baillet : 2 Swordfish
S/C Lemare : 1 Swordfish

CAMS Antarès Escadrille 4E : 1 Swordfish

Swordfish losses
- K8862 "A2M"
- P4217 "H3L"

Both Skua were not claimed by French fighters, but A6C from N° 800 Squadron was probably damaged by Cdt de La Horie (CO of GC I/4), and "A7K" from N° 803 Squadron damaged by Cne Viguier & A/C Feuillat

This aircraft was seen fallen at sea by an observatory of the french Navy, and was credited to the 3 French pilots to their return. Actually, the Swordfish "A4K" from N° 820 Squadron is only damaged.
