While on patrol of the "bomb line", two RAF Spitfire aircraft spotted a German formation of seven Messerschmitt Bf109 fighter aircraft and eight Focke-Wulf FW190 fighter aircraft. The Spitfire aircraft closed in and a dog-fight ensued. Flt Sgt Morris, closed up to within twenty yards of a 190 and saw his fire going into the German cockpit.
