On the morning of July 10th 1940 a convoy codenamed 'Bread' was detected by a reconnaissance Dornier Do17P of 4(F)121 when rounding the North Foreland in Kent. Six Spitfires of No. 74 Sqn (Hornchurch) intercepted but were outnumbered by more than 20 Bf 109s of I/JG 51. Despite this they forced the Dornier to crash land, while only taking damage to 2 of the Spitfires. K9953/ZP-A was flown by Flight Lt. Adolf 'Sailor' Malan of the No. 74 Sqn during this action. It went to No.7 OUT after the Battle of Britain before being passed to No.57 OUT where it was wrecked in a collision in 1943.
