Blenheim attack on 3 July 1940 - which Squadron?
 

Hello,

I'm looking for information on which Blenheim Squadron attacked Ypenburg airfield, Den Haag on 3 July 1940. Likely in the afternoon. Attack said to have involved three Blenheims.

No units are mentioned in The Bomber Command War Diaries or losses.

Any ideas?

Hello,

3 July 1940.

110 Squadron put up 12 aircraft to attack barges on the River Lek, but only one attacked the target due to weather conditions. Eight aborted, whilst three others attacked Ypenburg airfield.

Awesome Col! What excellent service - even a link to the Orb!

When knowing the Squadron, next step was to check the Orb for more details. Thank you!
