Only two Sopwith Camels were lost on 29 October 1918, both of these were from No 3 Squadron and went down in flames at 10:30 (British time) - 2nd Lts J H Hampton and H C Maisey both killed. The "Camel" claimed in the afternoon may have been the Sopwith Snipe of No 4 Squadron AFC flown by Lt P J Sims; he was shot down and killed north-east of Tournai at about 16:10 (British time).

Hutterer's victory on 1 November 1918 might have been Lt G W Graham of No 64 Squadron. He was a member of a patrol that departed 11:00 (British time).
