303 MASTERFILE.Indd
TRIUMPH AND TRAGEDY 5 SEPTEMBER 1940 he morning of 5 September saw the squadron called to arms once more: Tsix aircraft of ‘A’ Flight departed at 0945, followed fifteen minutes later by an equal number of Hurricanes from ‘B’ Flight, both flights being committed to aerodrome defence patrols. With neither formation making contact with the enemy, ‘B’ Flight landed back at 1040 and ‘A’ Flight 1045, the fitters immediately refuelling the Hurricanes as the squadron remained on readiness. It was not until just after 1430 that the second scramble order came through: nine Hurricanes under the command of S/Ldr Kellett getting airborne between 1440 and 1445. Following various course directions, the squadron was patrolling over Gillingham at 22,000ft when Kellett spotted anti-aircraft shells exploding across the Thames Estuary. Leading the squadron over to investigate, he identified approximately thirty-five Junkers Ju88 bombers escorted by Me109 fighters. Kellett, flying V7284/A, was manoeuvring his formation for an attack on the bombers when the escort tried to intervene; Kellett’s combat report: About a dozen Me109s came down and attacked us. I had manoeuvred up sun of the Me109s, so my section, Red, took on the Me109s, leaving the others to attack the bombers. I singled out one Me. and did a number of short deflection 303 Squadron Hurricanes dispersed at the north-west93 corner of RAF Northolt, September 1940. shots, followed by a long burst from below and astern. E/A caught fire and spun down, covering me with oil. I was looking about for the rest of my section when I saw another Me109. -
