You are both nearly there........
So this was 3.5 miles off fo Ramsgate. They are JU88 Bombers and ME109 Fighters.
The Picture shows an armed Trawler on a very specific day during the Battle of Britain.
What happened next????

As the aircraft in the pic appear to be larger than single seater fighters, was this the shooting down of a German bomber group over the channel before they made it to England?

Assuming that there is something easily identifiable in the foreground, and taken from an elevated position, how about Dover?
