Re: Blenheim L9325

Hello All,

The combat Report for P/O Simpson's engagement with the He111s on the 21st May differs from the entries attributed to him in 'Fighter Command Air Combat Claims 1939-1945' by John Foreman. In the Foreman book the He111s are noted as having been destroyed at 14:15 hrs in the Boulogne-Amiens area, whereas the combat report is timed at 18:50 hrs, with the engagement taking place over Calais. 2 He111s are recorded as being attacked and sustaining serious damage, with the outcome classified as 'inconclusive'. This information would seem to rule out any possible connection with a 'friendly fire' attack on L9325.

Any ideas on the discrepancy between the published claim and the contemporary Combat Report?

Regards,

Lockehaven
