There was a claim for Ju 88 by 145 Sqn at the time, perhaps CR or ORB should be checked for any clue?

I suppose you mean Leconfield. I know 303 Sqn was based there at the time, perhaps other units as well. I am not awared of involvement of the former, however.I recall a story by Tom Neill concerning Hampden icident more less at the time but I was unable to verify it.

No, I am awared of no such incident.
