17 May 1942

In the attack on the Prinz Eugen on this date by Beauforts of 42 and 86 Sqns (losing 7 aircraft), which squadrons supplied the 6 Blenheim and 4 Beaufighter escorts? I have the details somewhere but can I find it............

You have probably found it by now, but

Six Blenheims of 404 Sqn 18:00-23:02 hrs
Three Beaufighters of 248 Sqn 18:05-22:55 hrs
One Beaufighter of 235 Sqn 18:00- (R2269 lost off Egersund)
