PS
19 Squadron was looking for her leader S/L Lawson, who had been reported missing the previous day during a raid on Rotterdam. Flying low over the sea looking for Lawson and about to return home 19 Squadron was attacked by 10 Me 110 of II./ZG 76 - the German formation had the hight and flew in a circle.

It is the 54 Sqn Spitfire IIA. There are not the code letters "KL" visible on this picture but I know about one at least from 11 o´clock, with the same Wehrmacht group.

Hello Mike & Michal,

Thank you for the links.
I think they answer the question fully.
Well done for searching out the archive.

REVI16 ( Thanks for the site! I already knew it. )
Yes Alex, you are right, ROB digged out the Lawson file and ancient thread, who gives all answers ( claims, losses, pilots names, serial numbers, etc...)
I only had to thank both of you and all who contributed here. Fantastic support from you! Thanks again! ( I hope to be able to reciprocate and help in the same level as you did! )
Friendly yours
Adriano

Back to original query, I have Parkin on P8449


PS. I know FCL has Stuart = P8243; Edmonds = P8668. but I also have an unknown reference that says Stuart = P8668 Edmonds = P8243

An old thread, I know!

However, have been looking at the ORB on this incident and have a query.

Rob Van De Nieuwendijk says that the 110's had the height advantage. Certainly 19 Squadron were down at 1200ft looking for "Farmer" Lawson but the ORB goes on to say that the 110's were at 500ft. Is this a typo and should it be 5000ft? Or an error in my transcription?

In view of the fact that the 110's were in line-astern and attacking a smoke float I rather favour the 500ft figure unless Rob or anyone else knows differently?
