On 21 July, Park established standing patrols of twelve fighters over a westbound convoy that passed through the Strait of Dover that day.
A Bf 110 over Goodwood and a Do 17 were shot down by 238 Squadron.
The convoy reached the Isle of Wight at daybreak and Do 17s escorted by around 50 Bf 109s and Bf 110s from III./JG 27 and V./LG 1 attacked the convoy south of the Needles, where 43 Squadron engaged the formation, shooting down a Bf 109 and a Bf 110 for one pilot killed; 238 Squadron claimed the Bf 110 and the Dorniers failed to damage the ships.
The only other daylight action was the destruction of a Do 17 from 4.(F)/121 by Hurricanes of 145 Squadron and 23 July was quiet, a Ju 88 from 4.(F)/121 being shot down by 242 Squadron near Yarmouth.
A small convoy passed the strait on 24 July and was attacked by Do 17s from KG 2.
Spitfires from 54 Squadron intercepted the attack, no ships were hit and no aircraft were shot down.
In the afternoon, StG 1 sank the Terlings and the Norwegian steamer Kollskegg.

A convoy had set out from Medway at 11:00 and was attacked by 18 Do 17s escorted by 40 Bf 109s from Adolf Galland's III./Jagdgeschwader 26 (JG 26).
No ?
Squadron attacked JG 26 while six 65 Squadron Spitfires joined in and 610 Squadron scrambled to cut off the return route but 65 Squadron could not destroy any of the Do 17s, because their defensive cross-fire was accurate and the formation kept tight, stopping the British fighters from breaking up the formation.
JG 26 lost three two Bf 109s; one falling to Colin Falkland Gray, two pilots being killed and one wounded.
Running low on fuel, the Bf 109s used the advantage of their fuel-injected engines to dive away.
The RAF pilots thought that they had been shot down and claiming six, with eight probables.
Bf 109s from III./Jagdgeschwader 52 (JG 52) covered the withdrawal of JG 26, ran into Spitfires from 610 Squadron, lost three and a Spitfire pilot was killed and one wounded during a force-landing.
A Ju 88 from I./LG 1 and a He 111 from an unidentified unit were lost with their crews.

Luftflotte 2 carefully timed fighter and bomber sweeps throughout 25 July to exhaust the RAF standing patrols.
Once British fighter opposition had spent itself against the Bf 109s, large bomber formations could attack the convoys before reinforcements arrived.
At noon, 65 Squadron was in action with JG 52, the Germans losing one fighter and its pilot for no loss to the British.
Nine 32 Squadron Hurricanes and 11 from 615 Squadron engaged more than 40 Bf 109s in a dogfight near Dover and one Hurricane was badly damaged.
As the battle receded, Ju 87s from 11.(Stuka)/LG 1 and III./StG 1 attacked the convoy.
Distress calls from the ships were answered by 54 Squadron which sent nine Spitfires but Bf 109 fighters (unit unknown) shot down two Spitfires for no loss.

Park noted the German attempts to saturate the defences and sent only small numbers of fighters over convoys until a bigger attack developed.
In the afternoon, eight Spitfires of 64 Squadron engaged 30 Ju 88s from III./KG 4 escorted by over 50 Bf 109s.
Three more Spitfires from 64 Squadron scrambled followed by 12 Hurricanes from 111 Squadron at Hawkinge, 111 Squadron using head-on attacks to break up the formation, which abandoned the attack with the Bf 109s covered their retreat.
Soon afterwards a large raid appeared in the vicinity of Dover and a convoy was attacked by Ju 87s from Ju 87s from 11.(Stuka)/LG 1 and III./StG 1, off Folkestone, five ships being sunk and four damaged, including the destroyers HMS Boreas and HMS Brilliant before 56 Squadron arrived.
The Kriegsmarine sent nine E-Boats against the convoy and hit three with gunfire.
Three Spitfires from 64 Squadron and ten from 54 Squadron arrived and the Bf 109s kept the RAF fighters from the Ju 87s and shot down one Spitfire, killing its pilot; some of the Ju 87s were damaged by naval gunfire.
Two Bf 109s from JG 52 were shot down by 610 Squadron.
Squadron Leader Thompson, the commander of 111 Squadron reported that he was twice attacked in error by Spitfires.
