26 September 1940 - 253 Sqn

Hi,

on 26 September 1940 at 10.55 two Hurricanes from 253 Sqn started to interception. S/Ldr G. Edge was injured and shot down over Channel and balled out. He was rescued by boat. His wingman P/O Samolinski was missing. Who shot them down?
TIA
Greg

This has been asked before. Edge said it was his wingman that shot him down but I believe both were victims of Leppla and Meudtner of JG 51, Samolinski then shooting down Meudtner
