Re: 30 June 1940
Guernsey is a long way from Pas de Calais combat wise & is probably the combat between B & T/ 235 Sqn & a Do 17 in grid KLWS 2728. Jochen Prien's books are the best source for claims & losses-it would appear that 107 put up a good fight as Ihlefeld & Clausen were badly damaged & Rauhut Killed. However, then you have Kolbow & Schnell's claims for 2 Blenheims at 1250 hrs. The puzzle is I have different times for Ihelfeld' kills namely 1245 & 1530 & then Clausen' kill at 1530. Jochen says 1525 & 1530 (2nd kill a Spitfire) & Clausen unknown. I have no other Bomber or Coastal Command Blenheim losses for 30 June 40. Good luck sorting this one out!
