19 Aug 1940.

On patrol with 6 a/c near Southhampton. Vectored to intercept 18+ Bandits at 15000 ft over the channel. The e/a turned into 5 Ju88 types + a Lot of ME 110s as escorts. My mates got 2 Bombers and I got a squirt at one the it was a free for all with the 110s. I almost got the chop when one zoomed behind me ( took 8 MG rds , glad the rest missed ) Broke to port and corked screwed down to 3000 ft and went home. Sgn Claimed 3 Destroyed. I saw a bomber go down 2 chutes came out. We lost a Hurri. The Sqn is only at Haft strength Replacements are due in.
