Blenheim Loss 18 Apr 41, Mediterranean

Can anyone tell me the identity of the Blenheim shot down by Oblt Kurt Lasse of 9/JG 77 on 18 Apr 41?

Hi Chris

Bomber Losses in the Middle East & Mediterranean (David Gunby and Pelham Temple) shows:

T2348 (P/O P.Montague-Bates/P/O HR Edge/Sgt H Murphy) 11 Sqn shot down by Oblt Schmidt of 9./JG77 near Kozani; pilot & AG killed; Edge survived and evaded.

V5438 (F/O EG Collins/Sgt EJ Street/Sgt RHC Cook) 45 Sqn shot down over Cyrenaica; all killed

L1391 (S/L HD Jones/F/Sgt J WEbb/Sgt H Keen) 84 Sqn shot down over sea off Albanian coast by Bf110s (?);all killed.

Hope this helps
Cheers

It may also have been a Greek Blenheim, even if I don't know if they were any remaining operationnal at this stage of the war.
