I have carried out quite a bit of analysis of this day due to the Jabo attack on London. Luftwaffe records confirm the loss of just one ac from I./JG 2 which was lost in direct support of the Jabo mission around lunchtime. This was Fw Josef Bürkel of 3 Staffel and was last seen in combat with fighters north of Calais. Lt Heinz Ebersbach of Stab I was damaged in combat south of Newhaven and crash-landed. Hager was not JG 2 but 8./JG 26 and crash-landed short of fuel. Joe Atkinson of 609 Sqn shot down Fw Alfred Barthel of 5./JG 26 who was on an ASR mission off Calais
