Taford Collins
Acting Flt Leader
B, Flt, 213 Sqn
Tangmere AF


18 Sep 1940.

Scrambled for Snoopers along the Coast thru London East End. Engaged 9-12 ? Me 110s with our 5 a/c Flight. A real punch out. We lost Freddy when a 110 blew him up, we knocked down two for sure near Esher. One may have been mine. I was nailing one when 3 of my 8 guns jammed up. The e/a went vertical then end over end into the clouds. My attentions were diverted as another 110 put holes in my Hurri so split E ssed out of there. I couldnt get back to Tangmere due to clouds down to the deck so landed at Red Hill for A/c juice and Tea.
