Paval,
You need to check the book by Brian Cull titled Diver! Diver! Diver! (or as I sometimes refer to it, Diver Factorial Cubed). It lists all air-to-air claims against the V-1, with many descriptions from combat reports. (Just thought I would save Brian the effort of having to reference himself). Enjoy! Frank.

Re: V1 flying bombs shot down by the 68 Sqn
This list is based on the book B. Cull, Diver Diver Diver. At first sight somehow strange. The very first item 9 / 10 May 1944 A.B. Harvey / B.StJ. Wynell-Sutherland MM683? 1-1 How to shoot Harvey V1 about a month before the Germans began to shoot against Britain? The slow Beaufighter? Harvey is there something suspicious, often without proper recognition of the downing. Where there married F / Lt R.W. Dalton? The Personnel Report 68 Sqn Occurence not. Does not operate at 604 or the 25 Sqn? Etc
