Claim for Luftwaffe aircraft destroyed over Royston, 16 June 1941
On this date, P/O R P Stevens of 151 Sqn claimed to have shot down a He 111 over Royston at 01.25.
His combat report is very specific and very detailed.
However, there are no losses which match in any way that I can see.
Stevens' aircraft was hit by wreckage and he saw burning debris on the ground.
There was a mid air explosion and his aircraft was thrown upside down and damaged, its oil tank ruptured.
So, something puzzling here.
Is the date incorrect?
If not, what did he hit?
