Thank you Andrew. I checked again and found that Thorn Island on the Thames River is also called Thorney Island which I believe is near the Royal Palace. Still that doesn't provide help with any better odds in his claim as for the RAF only the following appear.
1 Sqn Hurricane 14:45 damaged in air battle with He 111
92 Sqn Spitfire 14:50 west of Ashford
249 Sqn Hurricane 14:35 West Malling in air battle with He 111
302 Sqn Hurricane 14:45 North Weald doesn't give if fighter or bomber in shoot down
303 Sqn Hurricane ? hrs over Dartford with Bf 109
310 Sqn Hurricane 14:45 over the Thames
310 Sqn Hurricane 14:45 over the Thames
504 Sqn Hurricane 14:45 near Dartford

Okay with the all these claims and only six Hurricanes and one Spitfire lost (also the damaged Hurricane) the Spitfire of Hahn's is very unlikely. So the 15 Sep 1940 was not a good day.
