Potential Mk XIV losses to 109D-9s, listed by serial number from Caygill. I've excluded everything listed as accident, flak or other circumstances. Total is 19 aircraft. I don't have the spare time at the moment to look up all of the losses, but there are plenty of databases online:

RB187
RB141
MB842
RM695
RM671
RM749
RM746
RM765 - Confirmed by Caygill as 'Shot down by FW 190D of JG 26 near Munster'

RM750 - Likely 190D loss, reported by Claygill as 'Shot down by JG 26'

Hi
What date is this related to? Page 422 of previous source has Lt Waldemar Soffing of JG 26 claiming a Spitfire XIV on 14 Feb. 1945 for his 24th victory, however, the RAF did not lose any in the engagement concerned. Also page 518 has Soffing of 2.Staffel claiming a 'Griffon' Spitfire on 29 April, 1945 at 1253 hrs, only Merlin Spitfires were involved. However, at that time Fw Helmut Walter of 1 Staffel was shot down and killed (it appears to be a hint that there was a friendly fire incident?), two other German pilots were also shot down and killed.
