Bombs on Guernsey 9 August 1940
Hi guys
On 9 August 1940, a single 2 Group Blenheim (squadron/crew unknown to me) attacked Guernsey aerodrome as a secondary target. The crew claimed a transport aircraft hit by their bombs.
1) Does anyone know identity of crew?
2) What was the damage inflicted? Was a transport aircraft damaged/ destroyed?
3) Was it in conjunction with this raid that the 2./JG53 aircraft crashed into the flak battery and killed three gunners?
Later, at dusk, six CC Blenheims (59 Sqn) carried out a planned attack on Guernsey aerodrome. What damage was caused. At least two Blenheims hit by flak but returned safely.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
Brian
