Luftwaffe against FAA

Dear Gentleman,
for the "Chronik des Seekrieges" I´m researching FAA losses at the moment (as well as german seaplane losses and that of Küstenfliegergruppen using bombers). For the year 1940 I found the following Luftwaffe claims in Tony Wood´s list probably referring to FAA units involved.

Hi,


29.05.40 Wapiti from 24 RAF to JG2
29.05.40 probably 5 Swordfish from 825 FAA to 3/JG54
31.05.40 Fw.Ochsenkuehn claimed Gladiator from 16 RAF flown by F/L GR Shepley
31.05.40 3/JG20 fought with Skuas from 801 FAA which lost 2 Skuas shot down and one crash-landed (L2917, L3005,?)

09.09.40 or 08.09.40 Setz shot down Skua from 801 FAA (L2889)
11.09.40 the formation of Albacores from 826 FAA escorted by Blenheims from 235 RAF was attacked by Bf109s from 1/JG52 and III/JG53 and lost 2 Blenheims (L9396, Z5725) and about 5(?) Albacores badly damaged.
