Spitfire/Seafire loss 11 November 1942

Hi guys

Reading Robert Hughes' book Flagship to Murmansk one finds a chapter or two dealing with HMS Scylla's foray into the Med during Operation Torch landings in North Africa circa November 1942.

Hughes suggests that a Seafire/Spitfire accounted for a Ju88 on 11 November, both aircraft crashing into the sea, the victim's of each others gunfire.

I can't find any reference to this action in Chris Shores' Fighters over Tunisia. Any ideas?

Cheers
Brian
