No, I'm definitely looking for N6199, 110 Sqn, FTR 4th September 1939:

"...shot down by flak from warships, reported to have crashed into cruiser Emden, killing nine crew" - The Bristol Blenheim, Warner, page 148

"Hit by gun-fire from the Emden the Blenheim smashed into the ship's superstructure killing nine of her crew and injuring several others." - Bomber Command Losses, Volume 1, revised edition 2013, Chorley, page 77

Or are they both mistaken?

Regards

Simon
