RAF claims, 18.05.1940

Hello pointedeflèche

in the book there isn’t Yule’s account. F/L Dutton didn’t report that he’d have followed any of He 111s to the deck but he reported that after he had attacked second He 111 “My No 2 [Plt Off Yule] went in to attack the aircraft and reported putting it out of action completely…”



But Plt Off Wakeham from Yellow Section reported “Followed two Heinkels to ground level in a deep dive…I immediately noticed the undercarriage drop and smoke poured from both engines…As I broke away, e/a appeared to go straight into ground…”



So no clear match I’m afraid but maybe Wakeham’s is nearest one. Hopefully You can locate a copy so You can assess the reports Yourself. If You cannot ask me again, I’ll then try to find time to type more extensive quotations.



HTH
