Stab II/KG27, 12.08.1940

Hi,

On 12th August 1940, there was the following loss:
Stab II/KG27.
Heinkel He111H ( ). Night sortie to Bristol Docks. Shot down by RAF night fighter and crashed at Sturminster Marshall, near Wimborne, Dorset, 12.20am. Oberfw. Herbert Frey (FF), Major Friedrich-Karl Schlichting (B, Gruppe Kommandeur), Major Hans-Jurgen Brehmer (B, Gruppe Adjutant), Oberfw. Günther LöhnIng (Bf) and Oberfw. Willi Bendrich (Bm) all bailed-out and captured. Aircraft 1G+AC a write-off.

Can anyone tell me what type and which Squadron the RAF night fighter came from?

Kind regards,
Steve

Time of crash was 0020m hrs on 12 Aug 40 and the crew said Defiant/Hurricane/Beaufighter, You can discount Beaufighter, no Defiants operating in the west as far as I am aware but 87 Sqn did fly night patrols but no claims were logged that night
