Hello Vince,

In Tony Woods listing I found:

10.07.40 Ltn. Franz Achleitner: 3 9./JG 3 Blenheim £ 20 km. westlich Arras 14.25
10.07.40 Ofw. Hans Heitmann: 2 9./JG 3 Blenheim £ 20 km. westlich Arras 14.30
10.07.40 Uffz. Otto Weßling: 2 9./JG 3 Blenheim £ 20 km. westlich Arras 14.33
10.07.40 Ltn. Franz Achleitner: 4 9./JG 3 Blenheim £ 20 km. westlich Arras 14.33

10.07.40 Fw. Hans Stechmann: 1 9./JG 3 Blenheim £ 5 km. N.E. Le Touquet 14.40


And according to W R Chorley, Bomber Command Losses 1939-1940 (page 90) the losses were:

82 Sqdn
Blenheim IV L9468 take off from Wattisham and borrowed by 107 squadron. Crashed at Aigneville (Somme), 18 km SW of Abbeville, France. Entire crew KIA;
107 Sqdn
Blenheim IV P6894 take off from Wattisham - target Amiens; crashed at Cavillon (Somme), 16 km WNW of Amiens, France. Entire crew KIA;
Blenheim IV R3606 take off from Wattisham - target Amiens; entire crew POW. Sgt Hawkins was killed on 19 Apr 45, when the POW's column in which he was marching was attacked by allied fighter bombers. He is buried in Berlin;
Blenheim IV R3815 OM-T; Take off from Wattisham - target Amiens. Lost without trace. Entire crew MIA;
Blenheim IV R3916 - take off from Wattisham - target Amiens. Believed the entire crew POW, although Sgt Lonsdale was later reported to be interned.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
