Question Dallachy Strike Wing and their escort losses (?) on 16 Feb 1945

Hi all,
I'm looking for details of losses, if in fact there were any, of the Dallachy Strike Wing - Beaufighters of 144 Sqn RAF, 404 Sqn RCAF, 455 Sqn RAAF and 459 Sqn RNZAF - and their escort - Mustang Mk IIIs of No 65 Sqn RAF.
On 16 February 1945 they were intercepted near Alesund off the coast of Norway by Bf 109s of 10./JG 5 led by Walter Schuck. He claimed two - a Mustang and a Beaufighter - which were his 197th and 198th victories, and his last ones at the control of a Bf 109 before he went to Germany to fly Me 262s.
Could anyone confirm/deny that the aforementioned squadrons suffered any losses on that day? Thank you
