The text in the pdf more than infers that the 109 strafed the crew after they had exited the aircraft. Whether they were in a dinghy or individually in the water who knows:

"After leaving the plane the survivors were strafed by one ME-109 until the bastard expended all of his ammunition"

This would also seem to suggest that the 109 may have made more than one strafing run.

If true it's fairly callous behaviour at best.
