who shot down Sgt. James McCairns on 6 July 1941?

Hi guys

Can anyone shed light on who shot down the famous RAF pilot Sgt. James McCairns on 6 July 1941 while he was flying a sweep with Douglas Bader?

After searching the forum I found only one mention. Could anyone point me in the direction of the Luftwaffe unit involved, or indeed does anyone know exactly who shot him down? Are there books or articles I can read bout 616 Sqn?

Secondary and primary sources most welcomed

TIA
Rich
