What happened to 601 Sqn on 6 Sept 1940 at 9.30 am?

The 601 Squadron lost its Flight Lieutenants and two other Hurricanes from which the pilots succeeded to bail out in a minute according to BoB Then & Now Mk V. Three of the Hurricanes crashed fairly near each other around Tunbridge Wells, the fourth crashed somewhat further to ENE. Caldwell writes in his The JG 26 War Diary Vol 1 that Galland and the First Gruppe, tied to the bombers as close escort, shot down three No. 601 Sqd Hurricanes. From the fact that the squadron lost four fighters in a minute one easily draw a conclusion that the squdron was badly bounched, was that what happened?

TIA
Juha
