(1 Bf 109 destroyed)

 

I was flying Blue 1 when in the vicinity of Bramsche I sighted 3 S/E a/c at deck level flying towards Achmer A/D from the east. I reported the a/c & went down on them & recognized them as Me.109’s. I gave chase to one of the Me.109’s which was flying across the A/D. As I closed the E/A broke port & I fired a burst closing from 400 to 200 yds allowing 20° angle off. I saw strikes on the engine & cockpit with smoke & flame coming from the fuselage. We were now at a height of 500 ft. & as I broke hard up into sun I saw the Me.109 crash into some woods where it went up in flames. I then broke port & gave chase to another Me.109 & saw SA-F (S/Ldr. Taylor-Cannon) break away from it & the Me.109 dive vertically to the ground & explode. Cine camera used.

I claim 1 Me.109 destroyed.
