Luftwaffe records say that a recce ac engaged in a mission to Barrow was attacked by 2 Hurricanes 30 km NW of Anglesey at 1815 hrs, one of which they shot down. Unit should therefore be Aufkl.Gr 123

Expect you already have this and eliminated them.
But just in case. 13/5/41 -7/JG53 claimed 1 Hurricane. 14/5/41 - 8/JG53 claimed 2 Spitfires. 15/5/41 - 9/JG3 claimed 2 Hurricanes. |

It's not mentioned in Harald Rabeder's book on 1.(F)/123 but there are several other missions to NW England described there, so it was on their "patch".

JG 3 and JG 53 would not have been operating over North Wales and my hunch is 3.(F)/123

Thanks to all for the help, I did think that perhaps F123 was involved, but I was hoping for more information.Everything helps

Re: Luftwaffe/RAF combat 10miles W.of Holyhead
Might there be anything in von Well and Gastager's The Easter Bunnies? (I don't have the book; my understanding is that Gastager was in 3.(F)/123.)
