Re: KGr. 806 Operations on 21 August 1940

KGr 806 was based in Nantes so why would it be off the Needles when the 2 were stated as lost attacking Penzance? 238 Sqn said one exploded and one landed on the sea. There was 50 minutes between the 152 combat and 238 Sqn combat and the surviving Ju 88 reported 8 SC250s were jettisoned (2 aircraft's worth) so there were 3 aircraft at 1725hrs (confirmed by 238 Sqn). Furthermore, there were loads of lone Ju 88s milling around that evening with II./KG 54 claiming to have shot down 2 Spitfires in flames near Worthing and one crew reported the presence of up to 7 Spitfires between Worthing and Southampton
