Re: Blenheims (30°Sqdr) in Greece

Thanks Michel

I now see why the source information begins to drift.

Ledet has opted for "the newest info" which in this case is a book by Brian Cull.
Cull lists in his Blenheims over Greece and Crete the date 7 Nov, which means he has changed his
mind as co-author of the book I gave in post 2 from the 6th to the 7th (page 24).
Even more strange is that Cull on page 25 refers to a Press communiqué which states the said attack was on the 6th....

It also seems Ledet based his aircraft data on what Cull said on page 24, ie L6672 and K7103 which means
we have Cull vs Warner and their differing data.

With none of the aircraft much damaged it is hard to say what is correct or not. I can only assume Cull has
extracted this data from the ORB (he lists the ORB of 30 Sq as one of his sources)

It also seems that none of the AM 78 cards lists either L6672 or L8462 as being used by that unit.....

Sorry I get no further than this.

Cheers
Stig
