Thanks for the input.
The eye witness is apparently sure of the incident ( all this was relayed to myself through a third party) although of course his recognition may be erroneous but he is sure of the period.

I was very interested in Chris's reply re the BF109 of Lt Hans Jaschinski being shot down by 124 sqdn, when I was researching this incident some years ago, I was told by one source that this a/c was shot down by a Mosquito and not by AAA, in fact parts of the wreckage reportedly bore machine gun or cannon round holes; but several other sources poo-poo'd this and said that it was definately AAA fire that downed the a/c.
Obviously, the Isle of Wight view is that the a/c WAS shot down by Island based batteries, (well we would wouldn't we!!). Is there definate documentary evidence of the 124 Sqd shoot down?
As usual controversy reigns.

regards

Andy G.
