56 Squadron Claim 18 May 1940

Recently dusted off a AM record at RAF Museum which mentions that 56 Sqn claimed a Ju 88 on 18 May 1940 23 miles off Ostend - just happens to be in the area a Blenheim from 235 was lost after three are mistaken for Junkers 88As, three Hurricanes fired on them and L9395 disappeared.

Checked Peters Cornwells excellent book I can see Do. 17's but not a Ju.88 by this squadron.

Could anyone confirm this about 56 Sqn

Yours Faithfully

Andy Bird
