Related existing record: 7 December 1942 Part 6 — 7 December 1942 Night air activity and island antiaircraft claims. This separate source account concerns material already represented in that record; it does not by itself establish an additional incident.

Between 22.00 and 24.00 hours [on 6 December], several enemy aircraft were over the Cotentin peninsula. On their return flight, one aircraft was shot down over the Channel Islands.
