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


25 Sep 1940.

The Sqn C.O. assigned aircraft " H " for Hauling @@# as my kite. B flight had the standing Patrol over London Factories. Vectored into Bandits near the East End. The e/a turned into 8-12 Me 110's below at 15000. I called line abreast and down we went nicely done drill. The Flight destroyed one a/c. Mine was heavy damage I hit him and my wing man hit him on the first pass then I came back around and him again The 303's Roared Dust popped up along his wing, engine, and fuselage, then he wobbled and flipped over after that I lost sight as his buddies hit my machine with fire. I split SS ed out of the fight and landed at Biggin Hill to check damage. Nasty looking holes along the tail and port wing with a larger hole near the wing Roundel The Sqn's second flight that day was worst as they lost 2 Hurricanes from A flight.
