Hello Brian,

I joined recently and noticed two FAA-related friendly fire incidents mentioned in some of the earliest posts in this thread. I may have some information of interest:

28 May 1940: two Skuas 806 Sqn FAA reported attacks by Curtiss off Dunkerque.

Although Sturtivant does mention French Curtiss as attackers, White Section of 806 Sqn (less one aircraft, which had crashed on take-off from Manston) was attacked by RAF Spitfires, according to 806 Sqn. survivors (e.g., see the 'Skua' book by Smith).
The only source giving a few details on the attackers is Air Enthusiast Issue no. 8: Green and Swanborough mention 66 Squadron Spitfires and report that stories of 'Voughts' (V-156Fs), supposedly in German hands, circulated as an explanation for the incident.

24/7/40: Two Skuas 808 Squadron shot down by Spitfires from 610 Squadron. Serial numbers of Skuas? Both force-landed at Worthy Down.

808 Sqn. was formed with 12 Fulmars in July 1940, not Skuas. Fulmar serial numbers are given by Sturtivant and there are two or three aircraft that seemingly have no history after delivery to 808 Sqn.
Do you have any details on this incident?

Best Regards
