236 Squadron 11 June 1940

Hi guys

On 11 June 1940, Blenheims of 236 Squadron apparently had a combat with Ju88s of I/KG51 (where, over the Channel?). One Ju88 was damaged. Any idea of crew identity of Ju88 and Blenheims involved?

I can't find anything in Andy Bird's new book.

Cheers
Brian

Hi Andy

Thanks for that. Any idea who attacked the Ju88, which returned to base with damage?

See also my posting re Dick Denison - was he on 236 Squadron?

Yes, I'm finding you book most interesting. Well done!

Cheers

Brian,

no Ju 88 from KG51 was over the Channel on this day.
