I found that 19 Squadron was somewhat involved in the particular dogfight I am researching, so would like some help this way:
A certain E.S.Hughes claimed a Fw 190 destroyed that day. I do REALLY NEED to know:
1- Time and location of his claim
2- IF 19 Squadron suffered any loss this day, while flying their duties. If yes, could someone inform me the names, aircraft involved, etc...? ( Some link? )

Glad in advance
Adriano

19 sq
8 a/c armed patrol from Grimbergen B-60
15.32 - 17.25/17.30 = 16.32 German time !!
F/O R.A Slee missing (KIA)
1 Fw 190 destroyed by F/L E.S Hughes

65 sq
8 a/c on Patrol from Grombergen B-60
14.25 - 16.30
F/L D.G Metzler missing (KIA)
F/O H.J Muir missing (KIA) hit by Flak

Slee & Metzler were shot down in combat with II./JG 6 I think!
II./JG 6 lost two Fw 190's and pilots in this combat!
