Re: Bf109 shot down by Battle of 103 Squadron RAF?
Thanks Chris and Snautzer.

I have BofF Then and Now and noticed the unfortunate incident of French fighters shooting down Battles. I have not been able to find any corroboration for a Battle shooting down a Bf109 on 10th June 1940 (or any date nearby) so I guess it is unlikely that the gunner was in fact successful. Hardly surprising that there was confusion in such tense situations!

Thanks for the help guys.
