[Alain Picollet]

Your Potez is probably P63/11 n° 584 from GAO546 shoot down in flames by 3 Bf109E. The wreck fall in Belgium at Mettet (Belgium), crew Cpt Compin, Lt Pradelle and Corporal Revelli safe.
2 Curtiss were lost this day n° 180 and 145 from II/5 in an early morning fight and these a/c are not yours birds, probable misidentification.
The poor old Mureaux were not longer in operational unit at this date.
II/JG52 fight againt 9 GCIII/7 Morane was a catastrophic event, French loses were Lt Costey (n° 837) ; Sgt-Chief Morlot (231) both killed. Sgt Boyer (153) and Lt Challe (168) saved only by silkworms works.
3 GCII/1 Bloch 152 were lost the same day, Adj Munier and Adj-Chief Autier killed, Lt Brun safe. For memory the only Bloch 151 in operational unit were Aéronavale aircraft based in Southern France.
The GB I/31 loses were high this day, a/c 27, 105, 80, 54 (accident), 42 and 78 (collision on runway). All were lost early in the day and I don't find a candidate for 20.35 ?
