Attack on Brize Norton 16 Aug 40
In the afternoon of 16 Aug 40, 2 Ju 88s (according to some records) attacked Brize Norton, home of 2 SFTS and the MU, causing a fair bit of damage. However, the Luftflotte 3 reports make no mention of this but does mention 2 He 111s of I/KG 27 carrying out an attack on Benson with similar results. Is this a case of mistaken identity-Benson is SE of Oxford, Brize Norton West and they are about 25 miles apart?
