Re: 31 August 1940 late afternoon - which units?
Hi,
Hornchurch had been attacked by I./KG76 protected by JG3,52,26 and ZG26 and Biggin Hill by KG1 escorted by II./ZG76 and I./JG51. If you will ask, which German unit had been attacked by 303 Sqn - it would be a very good question :-)) Robert

Hi,
It's a very good question about 303 Squadron.  What about LG 2 which lost at afternoon one Me 109 (pilot Oblt. Hasso von Perthes )? What kind of task had this unit those time? Regards, Greg
