Re: Who shot
 

thenelm,

Many thanks for you reply... just what i was looking for...

To try and identify the pilot i'm trying to locate, i also need to know who shot down another Bristol Blenheim on 9th July 1940 in Norway, whos name also appears on that list.

if i know that i will know the pilot in question.

Regards Mark

Re: Who shot
 

Is it a big secret who you are looking for. A bit more openess would help .... Junker, Flensted or some of our norwegean friends might have the answer for you if you opened up a bit ...

Re: Who shot
 

hi,

No great secret...still in the middle of purchasing some items...and wanted to do some research on them.

I have just found out it could be 3 possible pilots who shot down a blenheim on the two dates.
So the items in question could belong to any of the three below..

Regards Mark

Re: Who shot
 

Well, I guess that you should go for Menge. He claimed his 7th and 8th victory on the 9th of July 1940. 5./JG 77 intercepted 12 Blenheim bombers from No. 21 and 57 Squadron northwest of Stavanger.
