17 Aug 1940.

On Patrol with 2 Section near Burnemouth. Spotted and attacked some e/a. I got mixed in with a flight of Heinkills. Closed to 200 yds and pushed the trigger. My 303's got strikes all over the bomber then smoke and fire out of the Port motor. Fired another burst, more smoke then the e/a rolled over and went into a spin. No Chutes were seen. I couldnt watch more , as 109s were swarming about. I did get a bit of one 109 as my ammo ran out. I did a split S and dove for home. The Sqn Claimed 6 e/a destroyed for 3 losses . 2 pilots bailed out and returned that afternoon.
