DOn't believe the hype about it's success at night either...Didn't it get moved into that role because the daylight utility was poor?
If you read the wikipedia article it will become clear. The circle was a defensive or protective manoeuvre adopted by 264.
At night it was highly effective given we didn't have any other night fighter
. Once we had the Blenheim and Beaufighter . . . but that is in the same article.
You may recall the other night-fighter was the Hurricane with a Leigh light. Reading recent posts one wonders
