I don't know any S 79 claim, just Blenheims.
Both airfields were used by the Hungarian Air Force during the campaign.
I have the very exact crashing places in Hungarian soil (with some photos also), the claims too (fighters and Hungarian AA artillery), but as I mentioned before, it's not too easy to reconstruct, what happened exactly. I couldn't find the very exact Abschussmeldungen in the BA-MA from that day (not remained). It would be necessary to know the very exact details (I have generally the Hungarian gendarmery's reports also and in many case they are different from the German claims/confirms and evidently the ground reports are the more accurate - according to the ground reports, I know all of the exact causes of the crashes, but these details are different from the German sources in many cases) The Yugoslav sources are hazy also (in one case, the fallen crewmembers of a shot down Blenheim were not mentioned by the remained Yugoslav documents).
So, no exact answer.
