Which claim do you mean, Stig?
I think Christian is referring to a claim on either 13/14 May 1941 or 13/14 July 1941, and as he refers to the Blitz I'd guess it was May.
I'm not sure Col was saying there was a kill on 13/14 June 1941, just that Raphael flew VY-E on that night.
And on checking my later edition, purchased used on Abebooks a year or so ago, I only just noticed my copy was signed by Shores on 16/8/94.
