I’m looking for details on tipping V1’s by using the wing tip of a pursuing fighter aircraft. I have seen reference to this somewhere and a picture of a Spitfire going through the motions, but can’t find out when this first occurred, who was the first pilot to do so or who were the first units to perfect this tactic.
Can anyone help ?

Try this site, it has quite a few dates and squadrons and details.

Also this may be a good read as the chap had 52 1/2 confirmed V1 kills to his credit, again lots of dates and details.
