Re: RAF / WDAF Losses October 2 1942
Due to "Luftkampf zwischen Sand und Sonne" (German edition of "Fighters over the Desert"), Shores and Ring conclude that it is possible that 4 Stormo's Cap. Livio Ceccotti and Ten. Ezio Bevalique were shot down in a combat with 112 Sqn, whereby Sgt. MacAuley claimed one shot down (the pilot reportedly bailing out) and Sgt. Neill was credited with a probable victory. This seems to have taken place in the late afternoon. No Allied losses are mentioned.
Allied losses on 2 Oct 1942 in North Africa due to the source above: 1) The Kittyhawk of 112 Sqn's Sgt. Rae exploded during a training flight after taking off at 1000 hrs. 2) The Spitfire of 601 Sqn's Sgt. Allen-Rowlandson belly-landed due to battle damage, apparently toward the evening.
