Blenheim Friendly Fire 31 July 1940 - Serial Number?
Does anyone know the serial number of the Blenheim IF night fighter flown by F/O Rhodes of 29 Squadron on 31 July, in which he shot down a Fairey Battle of 12 Squadron? Although the incident is fully described in the 29 Squadron ORB Form 540, the entry for this sortie in ORB Form 541 has been redacted -- the details of the Blenheim's serial number, the crew names and time up/down have been obscured by over-typing. As far as I can tell from the ORBs this was Rhodes first operational flight with 29 Squadron.
