Report:
Red section was ordered to intercept larger group of bombers heading to Dover. First He-111 war observed at 1 o‘clock. S/Ldr Blacwood ordered F/Lt Rypl to attack from right, while he with less experienced P/O Bergman maneuvered to attack from other side with height advantage.
During the attack, section of Ju-87 was remarked. First attack failed, pilot of He-111 maneuvered wisely and descended. S/Ldr Blackwood and P/O Bergman followed He-111 while F/Lt Rypl broke to intercept Ju-87s.
S/Ldr Blackwood and P/O Bergman reached He-111 over the harbour and shot it down. He-111 unfortunately managed to bomb one of cago ships in harbour. F/Lt Rypl’s attack failed as Ju-87s changed the course. So he attack pair of Do-17 who appeared on the scene.
S/Ldr Blackwood and P/O Bergman then attacked Ju-87s, broke their formation and downed all of them.
F/Lt Rypl managed to damage one of Do-17 having forced it to release the load and broke the mission. His Hurricane was hit and caught fire however, so he descended and turned for home base.
Remaining Do-17 bombed successfully the harbour. Both of them were caught and downed on return by S/Ldr Blackwood and P/O Bergman.
