Re: Blenheim Losses 30 Jun 40

I'm sorry! Getting blind with age. Here's 2 Group ORB for 30 June 1940.
Attack on Vignacourt railway station.
6 aircraft, 110 squadron took off 1315 and landed 1530 hours. Bombs were seen to burst in station and fires were started. 3 aircraft did not bomb.

Attack on Merville aerodrome.
12 aircraft, 107 squadron, Wattisham took off 1015 and landed 1235. (1 aircraft landed at Manston). 3 aircraft failed to return. Target was attacked from 6,000 ft. Bombs fell on aerodrome.

AIR 27/848 107 Sqn. appendix:
BL 625 (1 section with 3 aircraft) not yet returned.
One aircraft BL624 "G" landed at Manston 1215 hours owing to damage by enemy action. This aircraft bombed target.
One aircraft BL 626 did not bomb (being investigated).
20 (4) lb bombs hung up on aircraft "Q" BL 626.

Nowthe date should be ok.
