9./ZG76 Bf110 pilot during BoB with 11 victories?

Hello,

I'm working with photos of Bf110C 2N+IP at "Quoeux" AF France during the Battle of Britain. One photos says "August" (1940) on the back. This aircraft carried 11 victory tabs in white on the fin, the 4th one being marked with a Dutch insignia. The first 3 and the following 4 are either British or French. I'm trying to put a pilot's ID to these photos. My problem is that the known victory info for 6./ZG1, by the BoB 9./ZG76, does not suggest any pilot with 11 victories by August-September 1940. I originally thought that this was going to turn out to be the Gr Kdr., Hptm. Rolf Kaldrack, who did have 11 victories by the end of the BoB, but the plane codes seem to throw cold water on that idea. Kaldrack came out of 7 Staffel, not 9 Staffel.

So, who could this pilot be?

Regards,

Larry
