Italian claims/losses May/June 1941
 

Hi guys

On 7 May 1941, an Italian transport aircraft (SM81?) was claimed shot down by three Beaufighters from Malta. Any ideas?

On 3 June 1941, a Blenheim from Malta was possibly shot down north-west of Lampedusa by two CR42s. Any details available?

On 22 June 1941, a Blenheim was damaged by a CR42, and a CR42 was claimed shot down.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Cheers
Brian

On 2 june 1941 ten. Marinone and s.ten. Bizio of 23° Gruppo, operating from Pantelleria, claimed a Blenheim near Lampedusa

On 7 may 1941 SM.82 MM 60293 609-9 of 146° Gruppo T. commanded by s.ten. Aldo Pierani took off from Lecce to Castel Benito with 22 member of 239a Sq. Bombardamento a Tuffo. The aircraft was shot down and touched down on sea. 13 men out of 27 on board were rescued by a fishermen boat.
