Uffz. Karl Hannes 5/JG 2 Spitfire 15:20 no location
Oblt. Hans Hahn 4/JG 2 Spitfire 15:35 Thorney Island
No RAF losses along the southern coast this day and there are plenty of other German units filing claims some with no times and no locations during this time period but all the actual losses seem to be around London and the Thames Estuary. So no actual matching claim for Hahn.

Hi,
II./J.G. 2 was flying from Mardyck escorting bombers to east London between 14:35 and 16:15, and was not in the Portsmouth area (source: Hannes
Flugbuch).
Cheers,
Andrew A.
