26 May 1942 - Which RAF aircraft damaged this Ju 88

[David Pausey]

Hi Pierre

From 234 sqns ORB:-
26-5-42
Bad weather during the morning. The Squadron Leader engaged a Ju88 west of base and claims this e/a as damaged. Weather was 10/10ths at 500 feet and e/a was finally lost in cloud after hits were seen to strike fuselarge to the rear of the Glasshouse causing a large white flash.

S/L Birchfield took off in Spitfire BL939 Patrol Convoy 11:45, landed 12:10.
I do not have his combat report so the time of his attack would be between the above.
On the 25-5-42 his claim was stepped up to a Prob.

Does the claim match with the Wekusta units Ju88, have you any more detals ?
