The 4. and 5. Staffeln had to cover the formations by close escort and were stretched over a huge area. 6. was all above them scanning the skies over Southhampton when we got contact with enemy Spitfires at co altitude. Minor dogfights started. I was dragged south over the Isle of Wight, where I saw a Bomber formation and lots of enemy aircraft behind them. With my high energy, I made several boom and zomm approaches on them, damaging a Spitfire and a Hurricane which both had to broke away. The Hurricane was badly damaged by my 20mm Minengeschosse. After my third pass, I was hit and wounded by an unseen enemy. Also, the radiator was broken. I set full climb power and course to the south immediatelly and with my actual height, I was confident to make it back to our lines.
I was on my way back from the Isle of Wight southwards with damaged water radiator and already gliding with a dead engine. I was then chased by two Spits (Vranac and Redeye) which passed by me, circled around and then opened fire. The first scored nearly nothing, the second one set my plane on fire. Between these passes I wiggled. They clearly saw that my engine was dead but shot me down anyways.
