Sqn scramble : 10 a/c to cover Penshurst AF. We found 5 e/a near the coast dont know the Height ( My Altitude guage was u/s, I marked my Kite as Serviceable because I didnt want to spoil the party ). The e/a were low so B flight made a head on diving attack then looped and made a one 2 on one attack. I covered as P/O Rierson got a bomber then 2 Me 110's came diving down chasing off after them, I ended up over Boxhall so headed back and ran into e/a I got one using the last of my ammo. I landed at Penshurst for juice had to dodge Bomb Pot Holes on the runway , but got in ok. Claims 4 Bombers shot down + Top covers 1 Me 110. Losses 1 Hurricane Pilot Bailed out.
