602 Squadron Claims - 4th September 1940

Hello all. Would anyone happen to know which 602 Squadron pilots made claims for the 4th September 1940? I have the squadron Operation Logs for that month from the archives (AIR 27/2074/17 & 18) and while it lists the pilots who were on patrol it doesn't mention who claimed what.
On the 4th the squadron claimed 1 x Me-110, 2 x Do-17's and a single Me-109 as destroyed with a further Me-110 & Do-17 as probables and a single Me-110 as damaged.
It is the Me-109 claim that I am particularly interested in.

HTH,

Re: 602 Squadron Claims - 4th September 1940

Thank you both for the information. The Me-109 I am seeking information about belonged to JG-2 and reported as being brought down in to the sea off of Dungeness (unfortunately I don't have the time) possibly by 602 Squadron. Thanks to the pointers above I have found Boyd's combat report for that day and shall order it in the morning and see what it says. I appreciate the help.

For anyone interested here is a portion of the combat report for 602 Squadron that details Floyd's claims on 4th September 1940.
