On Spits, Carolyn Grace's ML407 shared the first kill on D-Day.

Skysport's Beaufighter X7688 flew on night fighter ops covering Northern Ireland and Liverpool with 153 Sqn during 1942. I'm not aware of any hot contacts, or whether she ever managed to get close enough to track any enemy aircraft on her AI set, but she was definately up there 'doing her bit'.
