OK but there were no Bf 110s that were reported as returning damaged. The RAF claimed at least 6 Bf 110s/Do 17s destroyed, 8 probably destroyed and 8 damaged. German losses were a single Ju 88 of KG 51 and confirmed as 7 Bf 110s. Escort was made up of 39 Bf 110s from ZG 26, 52 Bf 109s from JG 2 and 7 Bf 109s from 5./JG 53. So the opponent was ZG 26 but not damaged
