As the Germans did not recognise damaged aircraft, unless the Germans aircraft was lost, logbook exists or war diary exists, getting a precise answer might be hard

Hyde and Paget both 29th April 1942 on CWGC.
Would squadron ORB have details of Sqd Ldrs a/c returning in damaged condition on the 22nd ?
