(1 Focke Wulf Fw190 destroyed)

 

I was flying Orange 1 and my section of 4 a/c was operating separately to pink Section. Whilst over Lauenburg bridgehead Kenway reported bandits flying south towards the bridgehead. We sighted eight e/a through broken cloud about 1500 ft. above us, (our won height being 4000 ft.) flying south and twelve o’clock to us. I took the section up in pursuit and the e/a dived to deck level and headed off north under low cloud at 500 ft. We followed and closed. I selected an FW.190, closed to 300 yds line astern and fired a short burst. I saw strikes on the fuselage and pieces fly off. The FW.190 rolled on its back and I saw it dive and crash on the ground. I continued the pursuit and fired short bursts at two other FW.190s from fairly long range but observed no results before the e/a disappeared into the rain cloud on the deck.

 

I claim one FW.190 destroyed.
